SITUATION The land is situated on the outskirts of the popular village of Metherell, within the designated National Landscape (formerly Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). Enjoying a peaceful rural setting, the property offers an attractive parcel of amenity land with good access, making it well suited for recreational, horticultural and lifestyle use.
DESCRIPTION Extending to approximately 4.14 acres, the land comprises a gently sloping, south-facing paddock with excellent accessibility via a newly installed gated entrance. The current owners have established a small orchard with approximately 13 fruit and nut trees, including walnut, apple, pear and plum. A securely fenced vegetable garden benefits from wire mesh fencing dug into the ground to help prevent rabbits and is supplied by a rainwater harvesting system. Three storage tanks provide approximately 3,500 litres of rainwater, located adjacent to the timber shed. The boundaries include hedgerows which were professionally managed by a local contractor in 2025. There is ample space for family recreation, with room for features such as a trampoline, whilst the land offers an excellent opportunity for those seeking a ready-made smallholding or weekend retreat. Included within the sale is some machinery, providing purchasers with the equipment required to maintain the land from the outset.
SERVICES The land benefits from a rainwater harvesting system with approximately 3,500 litres of storage serving the vegetable garden. Mains water is understood to be available within the adjoining lane, subject to the necessary consents and connection. Electricity is understood to be available adjacent to the southern boundary of the land, with low-voltage supply reportedly available nearby, subject to the relevant statutory approvals and connection.
AGENTS NOTE The land is sold as amenity land and is not being marketed as development land. It lies within a designated National Landscape. We understand the existing timber shed does not benefit from planning consent, and prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries with the Local Planning Authority regarding its status.
