Description
An attractive & productive parcel of agricultural land with extensive road frontage and good road links.
53.74 ACRES (21.74 HECTARES) FOR SALE AS A WHOLE
LOCATION & INTRODUCTORY NOTE
The land is located to the west of Northop on Holywell Road
being just a short distance from the village. It has extensive
road frontage either side of Maes Celyn which is a small
development of housing. It currently has a single point of access to the west of Maes Celyn although historically there was a second field gate to the east of Maes Celyn nearer to the village.
The area enjoys good road communications being 1 mile from
the A55 Expressway and there are livestock markets at Mold
and St Asaph which are 3.5 miles & 15 miles respectively.
Whilst the land will undoubtedly be of interest to the farming
community it is close to the village settlement boundary with
extensive frontage to Holywell Road. As such there may be
speculative purchasers who take the view that the land offers
development prospects in the medium to long term.
DESCRIPTION
The land extends to 53.74 acres (21.74 hectares) within a ring
fence comprising 3 fields enclosed for the most part by mature hedges. It is a particularly attractive parcel of land which is gently sloping and the hedgerows are lined with mature oak trees. The land is between 110-145 metres above sea level and according to the Agricultural Land Classification mapping system is Grade 2. The soil type is a silty loam with stoney outcrops being capable of supporting both grass and arable cropping. It has recently supported winter cereals and it is envisaged that all the land will be laid to grass on the point of completion. There is no water connected to the land but there is a mains supply in Holywell Road. Whilst purchasers must make their own enquiries of the Local Authority there may be potential to erect farm buildings
or possibly stabling subject to the availability of planning
permission.
