Land Adjacent to Whinbush Lane / Old Rufford Road, Calverton

An unusual opportunity to acquire approximately 2.5 acres of established private woodland, occupying a highly accessible position on the outskirts of Calverton and surrounded by open Nottinghamshire countryside.

Predominantly comprising mature woodland, the site offers an attractive opportunity for buyers seeking their own parcel of land for recreational, amenity or conservation purposes, subject always to any necessary permissions and restrictions.

A gated entrance provides access into the woodland, with the site benefiting from an established collection of mature trees which create a wonderfully private and natural setting. Its position is particularly interesting, sitting close to the junction of Whinbush Lane and Old Rufford Road and within convenient reach of Calverton and the surrounding villages.

The land was previously acquired by the current owner with a view to exploring its longer-term potential; however, no planning application has been submitted by the current owner and the land is offered for sale without planning permission.

Given the size, accessibility and location of the site, purchasers may wish to investigate whether alternative uses or development could be possible in the future. No representation is made by the seller or agent that planning permission for residential or any other form of development would be granted, and interested parties should undertake their own enquiries with Gedling Borough Council and obtain independent professional planning advice before making any purchasing decision.

For buyers simply seeking land in its existing form, the site also provides an increasingly unusual opportunity to own a substantial area of mature woodland within easy reach of Calverton.

Planning & Development Disclaimer: - The land is offered for sale in its existing condition and without the benefit of planning permission for residential or other development. No representation or warranty is made by the seller or Johnsons & Partners regarding the development potential of the site or the likelihood of obtaining planning permission. Prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves as to the suitability of the land for their intended use and are advised to make their own enquiries with Gedling Borough Council and obtain independent planning and legal advice prior to purchase.
