13.75 acres

Description

Mixed amenity land adjacent to Moors Country Park let on two Landlord and Tenant 1954 Act agreements.

A unique opportunity to acquire a parcel of land let on two Landlord and Tenant 1954 act agreements to Dorset Council with a total rent passing of £8,217.61 p.a. The land includes mixed rough pasture and a children’s 4x4 track run in conjunction with the adjacent Moors Country Park.

In all extending to 13.75 acres (5.56 hectares).
For sale by private treaty as a whole.

Location
Ashley Heath is a small village in Dorset. It lies 2 miles west of Ringwood and 12 miles north east of Bournemouth.

The land is accessed through the entrance to Moors Valley Country Park.

Amenities
Ashley Heath offers the basic range of amenities. The nearby Bournemouth offers a full range of amenities including but not limited to shops, restaurants and petrol stations.

Land
The land comprises 13.75 acres (5.56 ha) of mainly pasture with some shelter belts and small parcels of woodland.

The land is bordered to the west by Moors River and therefore large parts of the land are liable to flooding in the autumn and winter months.
The land currently benefits from a children’s 4x4 track to the north which we understand is a tenant’s fixture.

The land is seen as an investment opportunity but also, subject to obtaining possession, has the potential for agricultural and amenity uses.

Method of Sale
For sale as a whole by private treaty.

Tenure & Possession
The land is for sale subject to the benefit of two Landlord and Tenant 1954 Act agreements to Dorset Council with a total rent passing of £8,217.61 p.a.

More information is available upon request.
