DESCRIPTION
The sale of land at Wooley Burnfoot presents a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptionally attractive diverse and accessible block of bare land set within the picturesque East Allen Valley. The property includes productive agricultural land and a substantial stretch of the East Allen river. Further amenity benefits include the Wooley Burn which meanders its way through the land, flanked by a stunning woodland ghyll which, coupled with the nature of the land, gives the property a wonderful calm parkland feel.

Allendale is an area long associated with traditional upland farming and rural heritage, and the land reflects this. Steeped in history, the land is a quiet testament to generations of working the Northumbrian countryside, its layout and character shaped by years of careful stewardship. With its combination of productive fields, established dry stone wall boundaries and natural water features; the property reflects the enduring value of well managed farmland in one of Northumberland’s most scenic and resilient dales.

In total, the land at Wooley Burn Foot extends to approximately 33.78 acres (13.67 hectares) of which around 4.29 acres (1.74 hectares) comprise woodland and/ or riverbank with the remaining 28.55 acres (11.55) hectares consisting of productive grassland, some of which is capable of being mown/cropped. The property includes an excellent set of fixed livestock holdings pens which, coupled with the land’s accessibility, make the property ideal for satellite farming from an established unit and/or an ideal basis from where to start farming and/or small holding operations. Subject to the necessary planning consents, the land could also lend itself well to the development of stabling for equestrian use or a small shed or a small steading, all of which are aided by the immediate proximity of Allendale and the excellent access as a result. The locality of Allendale and the settlement also suggests that residential development opportunities maybe present, again subject to necessary consents being sought.

The property is very well fenced, with a combination of traditional stone walls and hedging making stock proof boundaries throughout. The land also benefits from a reliable supply of mains and natural water, with access to water available across all fields. The woodland not only offers amenity and environmental value but also provides excellent natural shelter for livestock.

The land ranges from a low of approximately 222 m above sea level to a high of 240 m. The fields are well- proportioned and flat along the valley bottom and are otherwise gently sloping. Classified as Grade 4 in its entirety, the property represents an ideal opportunity to acquire a diverse, well located and productive block of land.
