Guide Price: £310,000

Description - The land at Sarson Lane, Weyhill is a rectangular, level arable field which is mainly fenced and gated, with exception of the northern edge where there is a wide ungated, access open for farm machinery.

The field extends to approximately 23.25 acres (9.41ha) in total, as a single block of arable ground. The land is free draining with loamy soils. It is largely bordered by stock proof wire and timber post fencing, with mature hedgerows and a belt of trees along the eastern boundary.

The land has long been used within a wider arable rotation, mainly consisting of a traditional cereal crop including winter wheat, spring barley, spring oats. It is currently drilled to winter barley, and therefore holdover will be required until this crop is harvested.

The land is excellently located with potential for alternative use or development in the future STPP, given its position in Weyhill, close to the growing town of Andover.

The land is available as a whole.

Situation - The land is located east of Sarson Lane, off of the A303 and immediately south of the Amesbury Road heading into Andover. The land has excellent access from both the northern boundary and along the western boundary, leading to the A303. The land is surrounded by other arable farming on the eastern side, with significant development located to the north west of the land, and may have potential for alternative uses in the future, subject to planning.

The A303 provides quick and convenient access to the wider highways network of A34 and M3 heading east, or A36 heading west. The land is also not far from the desirable cathedral city of Salisbury. Andover benefits from its own train station, which provides regular trains to London Waterloo, Southampton and Bristol.

Directions - The land benefits from direct road access along Sarson Lane, which is gated, and an ungated access from Amesbury Road. From the west on the A303, this land can be accessed approximately 30 metres up from the slip road. If approaching from the east, exit the A303 at Andover, taking the first exit onto Weyhill Road. Follow the road for approx. 1.7 miles and you will see the land on the left hand side, just after Millway House Nursing Home where there is a layby near the entrance.
