Description

The sale of the Pilgrims Nook Vineyard offers an almost unique opportunity to buy a newly established vineyard with a purpose-built barn suitable as a winery in a peaceful yet accessible location. The vineyard extends to 5.12 hectares (12.65 acres) and was planted in 2019 to produce English sparkling wine. The vineyard has so far had three successful harvests. It has been managed in recent years by another local vineyard on an informal basis with no written agreement in return for them keeping the crop. The vineyard has excellent road frontage to Straker’s Hill and Roman Road and a wonderful southerly aspect.

It is planted with Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with a small area of Ortega grapes.

At the entrance to the vineyard is a recently constructed barn extending to 3,060 sq ft (284 sq metres) with three phase power and water connected. The barn has four roller shutter doors with the ability to create dock loading bays if required.

The vineyard received prior approval of the construction of an irrigation pond, drainage pipework for irrigating the vineyard under Dover District Council reference 19/00825. Further details are available from the agent.

Pilgrims Nook Vineyard is to be found just to the east of the A256 Dover to Sandwich Road, approximately 7½ miles from the centre of Dover, 7 miles from Sandwich and 16 miles from Canterbury. The UK What3words co-ordinates of the access off Straker’s Hill are ///festivity.expecting.august
