[Edged Red on the Sale Plan]

An idyllic single parcel of grazing and amenity land, occupying an elevated position above High Nibthwaite with incomparable views over Coniston Water and across the surrounding Lakeland fells. The land adjoins open common land along its easterly boundary.

The land comprises a combination of sound grazing, interspersed with a fine variety of mature trees and ornamental shrubs, supplemented by areas of recent planting. The mature trees comprise a mix of broadleaved species.

At the western end of the field is a small orchard of six fruit trees, comprising four apple and two damson, planted by the current vendors several years ago. All six trees are fruit bearing.

Boundaries comprise predominantly drystone walls, which are deemed stockproof.

In the centre of the field parcel lies an elevated, rectangular timber platform, with steps leading up to it, which the vendors have historically used to site a teepee when visiting the land. In addition, a small timber shed is positioned along the westerly boundary, housing a compostable W.C.
