Description - This is a very rare and interesting opportunity to acquire a peacefully located and hugely appealing parcel of amenity land, ideal for use as a hobby smallholding. The land has good road access and space for parking, and extends to some 2.31 acres in all, encompassing a fenced paddock of approximately 1.41 acres, areas of garden and ornamental planting, light woodland, a fruit and vegetable patch, and an orchard containing a variety of fruit trees. Additionally, there are several useful outbuildings, now in need of repair or replacement, subject to any necessary consents, including corrugated stores, a stable, two dilapidated caravans and, most notably, a timber summerhouse. The summerhouse provides shelter and has been used for occasional overnight "camping". Internally, it is arranged into two rooms, loosely as a sitting room, encompassing a small kitchenette area with an LPG hob, plus a "bedroom", WC and an outdoor shower (also heated using the LPG). The site would lend itself to general amenity, recreational or private camping use (under the 60-day permitted development rules), or as accommodation land for horses, sheep or various other livestock.
