The Paddocks, Langford, Biggleswade, Bedfordshire

SELF-ENCLOSED PADDOCKS WITH PRIVATE ENTRANCES & DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
We are excited to present to you this fantastic opportunity to own up to 3.5 acres of pasture land available as a whole or in just two lots.

Each of the lots are self-enclosed, with well-defined boundaries and private entrances. The land is flat and accessed from a double-gated entrance on East Road to the north.

The land is situated on the eastern side of increasing popular village of Langford, close to local shops and just 1.9 miles from Biggleswade.

The land is currently suitable for a variety of recreational and amenity uses, subject to any necessary consents. For those with equestrian interests, there is a bridleway near the entrance to the site that connects to a large network of bridlepaths offering extensive outriding.

The land could also offer some development potential as several parcels of Greenfield land within a mile of the paddocks have been granted planning permission for new housing developments.

ACCESS
Full vehicular access is provided to each of the paddocks via a double-gated entrance on East Road to the north. This easement measures approximately 7m wide. Each of the paddocks benefit from their own private gated entrance.
