Description

The Land at Blackthorn comprises a flat, low-lying block of grassland, bounded by mature hedgerows and trees, extending to approximately 27.34 acres (11.063 hectares). The land comprises Grade 4 permanent pasture which has previously been used for light grazing and forage making. Separated by thick hedgerow, the land is split into two paddocks of near similar sizes, with a small natural pond positioned between them.

The land benefits from a private right of access off the B4011, leading via a maintained grass track with hard stone base to the field entrance which opens into a livestock corral. There is open-sided timber framed livestock shelter, measuring approximately 52 sqm (560 sq ft), offering useful cover for animals or storage.

Planning
The land lies within the jurisdiction of Cherwell District Council.
The land is not situated in a green belt or within a National Park, and is not in a conservation area or an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)/National Landscape Area.
The land could provide Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace (SANG) or Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) opportunities and other alternative uses given its proximity to Bicester. Other diversification opportunities may also be available, subject to the necessary planning permissions. Buyers are advised to satisfy themselves as to potential alternative uses.

Environmental Schemes
The land is not included in any environmental schemes or woodland grant schemes, but has the potential to do so. The land has the potential to provide regenerative opportunities and other environmental enhancement.

Tenure & Possession
This property is offered freehold with vacant possession granted upon completion.

Highways
The land is accessed from the B4011 via a track with the benefit of a right of way.
Please refer to Site Plan for details.
