The land at Hillview Road extends to approximately 6.55 acres and comprises a single block of land (approx. 6.25 acres) together with a separate strip of land forming an access track (approx. 0.3 acres).

The land is situated at an elevation ranging from approximately 80 metres to 84.5 metres above sea level, with a median elevation of 82.28 metres. The land is accessed directly from Hillview Road.

The land is currently lying fallow following a Spring Pea crop and offers an attractive opportunity for agricultural, equestrian and lifestyle purchasers. The recent pea crop rovides an excellent entry for future cropping, having naturally enriched the soil with nitrogen and helping to improve soil fertility as part of a productive arable rotation.

The property is offered for sale subject to a 30-year clawback provision, reserving 30% of any uplift in value resulting from the grant of planning permission or other qualifying development event during that period.
