The Land

A rare opportunity to purchase approximately 4.63 acres of scarce strategic village-edge pastureland, together with an adjoining 0.35 acres of woodland situated in the village of Shawell. The land is offered for sale as a whole and presents an opportunity for a variety of purchasers including those seeking amenity land, grazing, equestrian use, conservation interests or an alternative investment subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. The pasture has been well maintained and is bounded by mature hedgerows and established trees. The land enjoys convenient access directly from the public highway (Main Street) and occupies an accessible yet peaceful location within easy reach of Lutterworth, Rugby and the M1/M6 motorway network.

Planning

The land is currently used for agricultural purposes. Prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries, for any alternative use with the Local Planning Authority. Planning Consent for the house to the south, adjacent to the Old Rectory was allowed on Appeal. The Inspector recognised that the land was part of an existing residential curtilage, but the quality of the proposal was not considered to impact on the intrinsic qualities of the area. The site falls within the administrative area of Harborough District Council. Shawell is a Rural Village/Settlement with no settlement boundary or Neighbourhood Plan. The field lies within Shawell Conservation Area, adjacent to a Local Wildlife Site.
