Location - The land is located to the north of the Northamptonshire village of Long Buckby and can be accessed directly off the public highway known as ‘The Banks’. Long Buckby provides a wide variety of everyday services, amenities, and employment opportunities. The nearby market towns of Daventry (5.5 miles southwest) and Northampton (11 miles southeast) provide an extensive range of local amenities and services, together with education and employment opportunities. Both Long Buckby and Northampton provide access to mainline railways services providing access to London Euston and Birmingham New Street.

The land benefits from excellent road links with the A5, A45 and A428 providing access to the nearby motorway network of the M1 and M6.

The location is shown on the plan.

Description - The land is a single enclosure of pastureland which extends to 6.17acres (2.50 hectares) in total or thereabouts, with a mixture of mature hedgerows and post and wire boundaries throughout. The land benefits from a direct access off the public highway known as ‘The Banks’, with a gated entrance sat back from the highway along the eastern boundary. Any purchaser should note that a third party claims a right of way over the property across the area hatched blue on the sales plan. More details will be given to a prospective purchaser.

There is a small copse of trees situated in the southern aspect of the field, along with a small, dilapidated brick building along the eastern boundary. According to Natural England, the land is classified as Grade 3 on the Agricultural Land Classification maps, being slightly acid loamy and clayey soils with impeded drainage.

The land would be suited to equestrian or alternative use subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

Purchasers should make their own enquiries regarding the location of the mains service supplies. The cost of providing such services to the site will be at the purchaser’s own expense.
