Middle Horsleyhope Farm, Consett

Land size
66.74 acres

Key Features

  • Desirable location boarded by Derwent Gorge and Muggleswick Woods.
  • About 66.74 acres (27.01 ha).

Description

Lot 2 comprises two parcels of Grade 5 rough grazing land and is approximately 66.74 acres.

Situation - Middle Horsleyhope Farm is situated between the market towns of Stanhope and Consett, in a productive agricultural area overlooking the picturesque Derwent Valley. The farm lies in an accessible location with direct access to the A68. It is approached over a privately owned, gated access road providing an enviable element of rural seclusion.
Both Stanhope and Consett have a good local range of shops and services with primary and secondary schools although with a very different feel. Stanhope is rural and scenic with small town charm and lies on the Weardale Way while Consett is a larger town with an industrial past. The City of Durham is only 16 miles away offering a wider range of amenities and cultural opportunities.

Description - Lot 2 is currently used for sheep grazing and is divided into two parcels by sheep netting.

Lot 2 is seperated from Lot 1 by the Healeyfield Lane.

Viewings - Appointments to view will be through the Selling Agents only by calling . Given the potential hazards of a working farm, we ask that all parties wishing to view are as vigilant as possible particularly around buildings, machinery and livestock.
