Description
The land extends in all to approximately 1.81 acres (0.73 hectares) and is divided into two parcels by the access serving a neighbouring, separately owned property (Shepherds Bridge).

The main parcel lies to the north and comprises a single field enclosure extending to approximately 1.74 acres (0.70 hectares).

The field is flanked to the east by Yewdale Beck, which is bordered by a fine variety of broadleaf trees. As shown on the sale plan, in the northernmost section of the parcel the ownership includes part of the beck together with a small island, from which the land takes its name. There is no fence along the beck side boundary. The parcel is slightly undulating in nature and falls slowly away to the beck along its easterly edge.

The southern parcel comprises a small block of enclosed broadleaf woodland extending to approximately 0.07 acres / 0.03 hectares. Again this block is bordered to the east by Yewdale Beck.

The land is of very high amenity value, being located right on the edge of this most popular Lakeland village.

The main field benefits from direct roadside access from Shepherd's Bridge Lane, which abuts its westerly boundary. The access gate is located in the northwest corner of the parcel, at the position marked ‘A1’ on the sale plan enclosed within these particulars.

The small southern block of woodland is also located directly adjacent to Shepherds Bridge Lane, although no formal access is available to this compartment at present.

Boundaries
The boundaries largely comprise dry stone walls together with some lengths of post and wire fencing. The current boundary features are in sound stockproof condition.

There is no fence along the easterly boundary formed by Yewdale Beck.
