Description
Property Description
An exciting opportunity to acquire a single enclosure of agricultural land extending in total 4.284 acres 1.734 ha set on the outskirts of St Bees Village. The land is suited to those seeking agricultural land, with amenity, lifestyle and equestrian potential.
The land is adjacent to a shingle shoreline of the Irish Sea coast, close to St Bees Headland.
Guide Price £50,000
Along the eastern boundary of the parcel there is a large gutter and beyond the gutter is the railway embankment, along the western boundary of the field there is a well-used foot pass and a bank with natural vegetation. The field parcel has been fenced with post and wire to separate the footpath from the grazable area of the field. The land is low, lying and reasonably flat. There are small areas of soft rushes with a major majority of the land being permanent pasture. On the northern boundary the footpath crosses the field to a footbridge which then crosses the railway line.
Location
The land is accessed from Main Street and a long Sea Mill Lane and under a railway underpass into a public car park. From the car park there is a footbridge and a more substantial bridge for vehicles over a large gutter. The vehicle bridge leads onto the shoreline and it is assumed that there is a access to the land parcel over this area. What3Words: breakfast.repeats.slightly
