The land is pleasantly situated on the edge of the affluent village of Buckland in Aylesbury, north of the Grand Union Canal.

Just north of Aston Clinton, the area has a lovely rural charm, whilst still benefitting from urban convenience and easy commuting. Both the popular county town of Aylesbury and the charming market town of Tring are close by.

Aylesbury offers a blend of history and heritage in its old quarter, alongside the major retail and recreational facilities of a modern town. It is also home to the new Aylesbury Waterside Theatre, where the surrounding area has been redeveloped as part of a multi-million-pound Waterside project.

In contrast, Tring is a smaller market town featuring a wealth of independently run shops, cafés, bars and restaurants.

The site benefits from being in close proximity to major travel links. The nearby A41 provides a fast, direct link to the M25 and Aylesbury and Tring train stations, which offer frequent and direct trains to London in as little as 35 minutes.

PROPERTY PRICES
The land is situated within an affluent location. Property prices in the area are 21% above the county average and 61% above the national average. These premium house prices reflect the desirability of the area as a place to live and own property - including land.

LAND VALUES
Pasture land prices in the region are 14% higher than the average as land values rose again last year, despite numerous challenges in the local market & global economy.

This once again shows the inherent resilience of agricultural land as a tangible asset.

With a wide range of potential uses, agricultural land remains an attractive investment for a diverse range of buyers. This is supported by the fact that, in the past 5 years, land values have risen by 31%, outperforming the FTSE 100, UK property prices and interest from savings in the bank.

These rises are driven by historically low levels of land availability, as demand continues to outstrip supply.

LAND DESIGNATION
The land is Greenfield. Any development or change of use would be subject to the appropriate permission.

PLANNING
There are no current or past planning applications on the land.

LOCAL AUTHORITY
Buckinghamshire Council

NO OVERAGE
There is no overage or clawback on this land - rare in today's land market.
