DESCRIPTION
The sale of the land at South View provides a purchaser with a rare opportunity to acquire an accessible and diverse block of land in on the edge of Chopwell. The property extends to approximately 0.27 hectares (0.68 acres) and is comprised of permanent pasture, ideal for pony paddocks, with fantastic views overlooking the Derwent Valley.

The land offers the opportunity of a variety of uses. It has been utilised as a pony paddock in the past with an existing stable block sited on the western boundary, however there is further scope for alternative amenity uses. Such a change of use (on a permanent basis) may require planning permission and separate advice should be taken on this.

The availability of well-located, accessible, and diverse plots of land are scarce. The opportunities presented by this sale in terms of diversification and/or any change of use are evident, however equally a purchaser may well simply want to continue the land’s existing use in that it provides the ideal pony paddock, with grazing, environmental and amenity uses.
