Land size

Description

A strategically important and centrally located paddock with direct road frontage onto Stroud Road – approximately 1.72 acres (0.74ha)

An unusual and most interesting opportunity has arisen to acquire a village center paddock which is currently permanent pasture. This well-located plot of land is adjacent to multiple mixed uses including Tesco, the Afton Waste Recycling Disposal Centre and residential dwellings to the north-west. There is gated access on the south-west corner onto Stroud Road, and a public footpath (F37) passes through the property.

The land boundary is well delineated along the southern side with a stream and a strip of mature woodland. The rare offering would suit a range of uses.

Overage Provision The land will be sold subject to a 20% development overage clause for a term of 30 years (from completion of the transaction).
