Land and Buildings Off Bentley Hall Road, Bury, Greater Manchester

*SMALLHOLDING / EQUESTRIAN OPPORTUNITY*
An exciting opportunity to acquire a smallholding / equestrian unit extending to 25.46 acres (10.30 hectares), or thereabouts, of meadow and pastureland including a substantial agricultural building, range of four timber stables, yard area and planning consents approved for the erection of a new agricultural building and equestrian menage.
The land is accessed off Bentley Hall road with a stone access track leading down to the new agricultural building and the proposed site for the new menage and additional agricultural building. The property provides great scope for lifestyle farming, equestrian stabling, or general storage, with the site also having great potential for alternative uses, subject to gaining the necessary planning consents.

The agricultural building comprises a 80ft x 40ft four bay steel portal framed building being under a pitched sheet roof and including a concrete floor, concrete panelled walls and Yorkshire Board cladding to the eaves. The building includes large metal sliding doors and is currently being utilised for cattle livestock housing.

The stabling comprises two timber stable blocks under pitched roofs providing for four individual stables with central concrete yard. The land also benefits from planning consent for the creation of an equestrian menage (30m x 50m) positioned adjacent to the agricultural building, with Prior Approval Consent also granted for the erection of a further agricultural building (60Ft x 55Ft).

Under the Land Classification Maps for England and Wales, the land is classified as Grade 4, being gently sloping by nature and being utilised for livestock grazing and forage production. The land is ring-fenced and divided into separate field enclosures with predominantly timber post and wire fencing.

The land has good access to surrounding road networks and given the versatility of the smallholding, including a substantial building, stables, and yard alongside planning consent for a further building and menage facilities, the holding will appeal to a range of purchasers to include amenity, equestrian, agricultural, and lifestyle users.
