Description

A productive parcel of genuine grassland with small wooded areas, extending to around 84 acres in an attractive and noted farming district with access from the A49 and A41 (via Willeymoor Lane), with approximately 500 metes adjoining the Shropshire Union Canal, situated a short distance from the popular village of Tushingham.

Description - Halls are favoured with instructions to offer the Land at Willeymoor, Tushingham, nr Whitchurch, for sale by private treaty.

The land is a productive parcel of genuine grassland in an attractive, well known farming district ideal for the grazing of all kinds of livestock extending, in all, to around 84 acres, or thereabouts.

At present, retained within convenient sized enclosures of predominantly level grassland with an access from the A49 to the east or from the A41 to the west via Willeymoor Lane.

The land adjoins the Llangollen branch of the Shropshire Union Canal along the Eastern boundary (circa 500m), separated by a drainage channel which could be relatively easily bridged to provide leisure possibilities (subject to LA consent).

The land is divided in to three main sections by drainage channels and includes part of the byway known as Bishop Bennet Way which gives a number of access points to the lower block of land along the western boundary providing an opportunity for the land to be subdivided in to smaller parcels, if required.

The locale, nature, and soil type of the land means that it could present the opportunity for the land to be incorporated into BNG or carbon-related projects. In addition, it would also be suitable for entry into the expanded Suitable Farming Incentive scheme.

The sale of the land at Willeymoor does, therefore, provide an excellent opportunity for purchasers to acquire a conveniently located block of land, particularly well suited to the grazing of livestock but also offering leisure possibilities and the opportunity for the land to be incorporated in to BNG or carbon related projects.

The land is available as a whole or potentially in two lots with the northern block extending to around 36.7 acres and the southern block extending to around 47.3 acres.

Situation - The land is situated in a convenient and accessible location around 3 miles north of Whitchurch accessed from either the A49 to the east or A41 (via Willeymoor Lane) to the west, a short distance from the popular village of Tushingham. The lower block of land benefits from around 500 metres adjoining the Llangollen branch of the Shropshire Union Canal just south of Quoisley Bridge (number 25) between Whitchurch branch junction to the south and Wrenbury bridge to the east.
Whitchurch provides an extensive range of amenities of all kinds and is within relatively easy commuting distance of Market Drayton (16 miles), Wrexham (17 miles) and Chester (17 miles).
