Land size
52.64 acres

Description

Location
The land at Balne is situated approximately 2 miles to the south-east of the village of Whitley and 12 miles to the west of the town of Goole.

Access to the A19 is approximately 1.5 miles to the west which in turn provides convenient access to junction 34 of the M62 which is situated 3 miles to the north-west of the land. Access to the land is taken directly from Balne Moor Road which bounds the land to the south.

Land
The land extends in all to 52.64 acres (21.30 hectares) and comprises a productive parcel of arable land extending to 23.15 acres (9.37 hectares), grassland extending to 25.83 acres (10.45 hectares) and woodland extending to 3.66 acres (1.48 hectares).

The land is all classed as being Grade 3 under the former MAFF Land Classification Series.

The underlying soil type is classed as being part of the Foggathorpe 2 soil series which is described as a slowly permeable stoneless clayey and fine loamy over clayey soil and suited to cereals and grassland with stock rearing.

The grassland has formerly been used for arable cropping and offers the opportunity for reversion from grassland to arable.

Alternatively, the grassland and woodland provide an excellent opportunity for incorporation with any future environmental schemes or alternatively for amenity use or environmental/habitat enhancement.

The arable land benefits from good road frontage to Balne Moor Road with access to the grassland and woodland taken via a culvert over Common Drain. An underpass provides access to the grassland situated to the east of the railway line.
