Description
An excellent opportunity to acquire a most productive and versatile block of predominantly Grade 2 arable land, in a well known farming district, just outside the rural hamlet of Bettisfield, currently retained in a single enclosure, with good access on to a council maintained road, extending, in all, to approximately 62.30 acres or thereabouts.
Description - Halls are delighted with instructions to offer this excellent parcel of arable land at Bettisfield, for sale by Private Treaty.
The land is retained within one principal enclosure, with good vehicular accesses on to Council maintained Cadney Lane.
At present, the land has recently been planted with maize, and prospective purchasers will have the choice of taking to the maize on completion or completing the purchase after the maize has been harvested.
The land is a variation of soil types with it mostly being a light, sandy workable loam with an area of black soil and a very small area of peat to the rear.
The land would be considered to be predominantly Grade 2 on the Provisional Land Classification Map of England & Wales with an area of 3b, and according to Soilscapes would comprise areas of freely draining, slightly acid, loamy soil and areas of slowly permeable, seasonally wet, base rich loamy and clayey soil.
The sale presents an unusual opportunity to purchase a well farmed parcel of arable land in a noted farming area and should, therefore, be of interest to farmers wishing to supplement their existing acreages, or those just wishing to invest in a high quality parcel of land.
The land extends, in all, to approximately 62.30 acres, or thereabouts.
An inspection is highly recommended.
Situation - The land is situated just outside the rural hamlet of Bettisfield (0.2 miles), within easy motoring distance of the north Shropshire towns of Wem (6 miles), Whitchurch (6 miles), Ellesmere (6 miles), all of which, have an excellent range of local shopping, recreational and educational facilities. The county town of Shrewsbury (17 miles) is also easily accessible by car and has a more comprehensive range of amenities of all kinds.
Directions - From Ellesmere take the A495 for approximately 6 miles, passing through the village of Welshampton. Take the turning right signposted Bettisfield (1) and Wem (7). Proceed for approximately 1.1 miles and turn left down Cadney Lane. Continue for approximately 0.2 of a mile and the land will be found on the left hand side, identified by a Halls For Sale board.
