Description
Lot 3: About 40.82 Ha (100.87 Acres) of Farmland and Woodland located to the east of the Rule Water
The area forming Lot 3 at West Leas forms a single contiguous parcel of land and woodland separated from the main house and buildings by the Rule Water which bounds lot 3 subjects to the west. The land and woodland within Lot 3 extend to 40.82 Ha (100.87 Acres) and has been classed as grade 3.2 by the James Hutton Institute and provides an excellent mix of productive pasture and silage ground and several areas of mixed amenity woodland. The land within Lot 3 is accessed via field gates which lead from the minor public road which bounds the subjects to the east and leads south of the village of Bedrule. The land is of a southwesterly aspect rising from the Rule Water to 154m above sea level at its highest point on the northeastern boundary. The layout, location and position of the woodland and farmland areas close to the Rule Water provide a haven for wildlife.
