Description

3.819 ACRES WITH STABLES, WATER & POWER

Hawkshaw Lane | Spectacular 360° Views | £219,000

A rare opportunity to acquire approximately 3.819 acres of beautifully maintained land in a superb elevated position at the top of Hawkshaw Lane, complete with existing stabling, water and electricity and enjoying truly spectacular 360-degree panoramic views.

Occupying an enviable countryside setting, the land enjoys an exceptional outlook in every direction. Its elevated position provides far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside and towards Greater Manchester, with the Manchester skyline forming an impressive backdrop on a clear day.

Extending to approximately 3.819 acres, the land is predominantly laid to well-maintained grass and provides excellent space for paddocks and grazing. Established fencing is already in place, together with an existing stable block, making this an especially attractive opportunity for equestrian buyers looking to keep horses on their own land.

A significant advantage is the availability of both water and electricity on site, providing valuable existing infrastructure and adding considerably to the land’s versatility.

Beyond its obvious equestrian appeal, the combination of acreage, services, accessibility and outstanding panoramic views may also interest purchasers wishing to explore alternative rural leisure uses. The site could offer an exciting setting for holiday pods or glamping accommodation, subject strictly to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and other consents.

Whether sought as a private equestrian holding, grazing land, a peaceful countryside retreat or a property with potential for future leisure use, this is an unusual opportunity to acquire a manageable parcel of land in a particularly impressive position.
