Description
For Sale Via Online Auction. Fees Apply.
A parcel of predominantly wooded land situated off Lyefield Lane, Abinger (formerly Lowerhouse Lane).
The woodland comprising of a mixture of mature and naturally established trees, including oak, pine, hazel and ash, together with dense natural undergrowth. The land is offered for sale by reference to the registered Title Plan SY284703. The precise extent of the woodland is difficult to identify on the ground, and the pathway shown in yellow on the Title Plan does not appear to exist as a physical pathway. Prospective purchasers are advised to satisfy themselves as to the extent of the property by reference to the registered Title Plan and their own investigations.
The woodland is in a natural and substantially overgrown condition and prospective purchasers should note that fencing, barbed wire, ditches, fallen trees, brambles and dense vegetation are present. The land is consequently difficult to traverse and appropriate footwear and clothing are strongly recommended for any inspection.
A lay-by is situated close to the south-eastern corner of the parcel and may assist with access for viewing, subject to purchasers making their own enquiries as to access rights.
Purchasers should make their own enquiries regarding any woodland designation and all planning, environmental, forestry and other restrictions affecting the land. Local Authority: Waverley Borough Council.
NB Photos are for reference purposes only, and due to the limitations of the site, may not show the actual area being sold.
Important: Prospective purchasers should exercise particular care when visiting the land due to the presence of barbed wire, fencing, fallen trees, ditches, brambles, dense vegetation and uneven ground, along with the absence of a defined access point. Viewings are undertaken entirely at the purchaser's own risk.
