Northwood, Near Wem.

A first class parcel of Grade 2 arable and grassland, in a noted farming district, just outside the north Shropshire rural hamlet of Northwood, which is currently retained in two principal enclosures with good gated accesses on to a Council maintained road, extending, in all, to approximately 48.29 acres, or thereabouts.

Description - Halls are favoured with instructions to offer this first class parcel of arable and grassland at Northwood, near Wem for sale by Private Treaty.

The land is situated in a well known farming district and is retained in two principal enclosures, but in one block. At present, the land is partly in stubble after maize (approx 33.66 acres) and one year grass (approx 14.63 acres).

The land would be considered to be Grade 2 on the Provisional Land Classification Map of England & Wales and according to Soilscapes would comprise a “freely draining, slightly acid loamy soil”.

It is unusual for such a well situated parcel of arable and grassland, such as this, to become available for purchase in this area and it should, therefore, be of interest to local farmers wishing to supplement their existing acreages or those just wishing to invest in land.

The land extends, in all, to approximately 48.29 Acres, or thereabouts. An inspection is highly recommended.

Situation - The land is situated just outside the rural hamlet of Northwood which has limited local amenities but does include a well known public house. The nearest village is Bettisfield (0.5 miles), and the north Shropshire towns of Wem (4.5 miles), Ellesmere (6 miles) and Whitchurch (7 miles) are all within easy vehicular reach and all have an excellent range of local shopping, recreational and educational facilities. The county town of Shrewsbury (15 miles) is also easily accessible by car and has a more comprehensive range of amenities of all kinds.

Directions - Proceed via the B5063 from either Wem or Ellesmere into the centre of Northwood. Turn in the middle of Northwood signposted "Bettisfield" and continue for approximately 0.5 of a mile and the land will be found on the right hand side identified by Halls For Sale Boards.
