Description

An excellent opportunity to acquire approximately 6.82 acres (2.76 hectares) of grassland, together with a range of buildings. Currently the owners live on site and have done so for a number of years. This gives the exciting prospect of further redevelopment of the site subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

The property is accessed via a stone track directly off Sheffield Road, which leads to the buildings and location of the mobile accommodation. The land can be accessed directly off the track or through the area where the buildings are located. The land is gently undulating and is best suited to grazing or mowing.

The property will appeal to those with agricultural interests, investors or purchasers seeking a lifestyle change.
