Viewings - The land can be viewed unaccompanied and without appointment not before the 22nd of December to allow for the previous Tenant to vacate the holding. We ask all viewings be completed following appropriate Health and Safety protocols but are ultimately completed at your own risk.

Access - Access to the land is shown on the lotting plan above. Two access tracks are shown in blue and yellow. Red crosses represent approximate locations of current and previous access points from the road/tracks.

The blue track is not registered with HM Land Registry. It is therefore not included in the Tenancy agreement. It is unclear as to the ownership of the track however it has been used to access the land for a number of years and maintained by the occupier.

The yellow track is not registered with HM Land Registry. It is therefore not included in the Tenancy agreement. However, on OS maps it is designated as "Other routes with public access" and therefore can be used freely to access the land.

Should the prospective Tenant wish to continue to access the land, it could be considered it is in their interest to maintain tracks where necessary.

Disclaimer - These particulars are a guide and should not be relied upon for any purpose. Farms and land can be dangerous places. Please take care when viewing the property, particularly in the vicinity of livestock.
