Description

18.95 ACRES OF PRODUCTIVE MEADOW LAND, RAVENS CLOSE BROW, WENNINGTON, LANCASTER

what3words: ///both.cookie.grasp

An excellent opportunity to acquire a versatile block of productive agricultural meadowland, extending to approximately 18.95 acres (7.67 hectares), situated in the attractive Wenning Valley, just outside the village of Wennington. The land is likely to appeal to a range of purchasers, including agricultural, equestrian and lifestyle buyers seeking a well-located and manageable parcel of grassland in a desirable rural setting. The land lies immediately to the north of Ravens Close Brow, between Wennington and Burton in Lonsdale, and benefits from excellent direct highway access. Classified as Grade 3 and Grade 4 grassland, it forms a useful and manageable parcel of meadowland suitable for a range of agricultural, equestrian or amenity uses, subject to any necessary consents. The land is enclosed by a combination of traditional timber stock-proof fencing and metal ‘Clipex’-style stock netting fencing. The land has been re-seeded within the last four years using long-term ley mixes and has been regularly managed, including spraying and recent lime treatment. As a result, it provides a sound block of productive meadow ground, well suited to grass cropping, productive livestock grazing or equestrian use.
