DESCRIPTION
The sale of land at Hawksteel offers an excellent opportunity to acquire a productive block of bare agricultural land. The land is currently laid to grass and has been well managed over a number of years, providing a strong sward suitable for the grazing of livestock and mowing.

In total, the land extends to approximately 33.56 hectares (82.89 acres) of productive Grade 3 agricultural land, of which 10.61 hectares (26.21 acres) is suitable for mowing.. Soils are predominantly loamy and clayey in nature, typically well suited to grassland production. The land ranges from approximately 320m to 385m above sea level.

The land is currently farmed in hand and has benefitted from regular applications of fertiliser, together with ongoing grassland improvements designed to maintain and enhance productivity. In recent years the land has also been managed under a Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) scheme.

The land is well located, meaning the land is easily accessible for farmers to incorporate into their current farming operations.

The property benefits from stock proof boundaries, being primarily traditional drystone walls and stock fencing, all of which have been well maintained. The land is in good heart and is understood to be well drained.

The land also lends itself to a range of alternative uses, including exploring additional agri-environment schemes or via a private funding schemes such as biodiversity net gain. It may also be of interest to equestrian use or lifestyle purchasers seeking a convenient and easily managed parcel of land.

LOCATION
The land occupies an excellent position approximately 2 miles west of the attractive market town of Allendale and around 7 miles south of Haydon Bridge, where there are connections to the A69. The A69 provides convenient east–west links between Carlisle and Newcastle, as well as onward access to the A1 and M6.

This accessible yet rural setting places the property within reasonable reach of established livestock auction marts at Hexham, Carlisle and Longtown, while also offering strong appeal to lifestyle and equestrian buyers seeking proximity to nearby villages, market towns and the wider Northumberland countryside.
