Description
FOR SALE BY INFORMAL TENDER - Tender Deadline 12 Noon Wednesday 30th September 2026
Extending to approximately 3.50 acres (1.41 hectares) or thereabouts, this property offers a versatile and superbly located and accessible parcel of Grade 1 land suitable for a wide range of uses.
Conveniently located between the popular rural villages of Croston and Rufford, the property offers an extremely accessible, yet peaceful setting. The land itself is accessed directly off Meadow Lane, bordered by a thick hawthorn hedge providing privacy from the main road and accessed through a stoned, and gated entrance.
Leading through the gated entrance is a small fenced paddock, consisting of a useful timber shed and well-established apple orchard - ideal for amenity and equestrian buyers wanting to separate the land from the productive grassland.
Beyond, the property offers a well-proportioned, and stock fenced block of grassland accessed through a further gate providing greater security. Cottage Land Brook meanders along the southern boundary, enhancing the attractive rural setting.
With its manageable size, excellent access and attractive setting, the land presents an appealing opportunity for amenity, equestrian or agricultural buyers.
