Description

The land presents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly attractive and versatile parcel in a sought-after part of North Essex. Extending to approximately 20.35 acres (8.23 hectares) the land is partly elevated and slopes down to level water meadows with extensive frontage to the River Pant, which adds both amenity value and environmental interest.

The land is in permanent pasture and is currently used for equestrian grazing and hay making. It is classified as predominantly Grade 3 and comprises Hanslope series soils, being slowly permeable chalky boulder clay typical of the local area.

There is approximately one acre of willow set beds located in the south western corner of the parcel, adjacent to the River Pant. Established in 2008/09 the plantation is managed by J S Wright & Sons Ltd as commercial set beds for cricket bat willow. The trees are now approaching the end of their productive life and present an opportunity for replanting or alternative use, subject to any necessary consents.

There is a small timber field shelter together with a gated access and hardstanding parking area off the B1051 Road, and the land is enclosed by a combination of mixed fencing, mature hedgerows and established tree belts, providing natural shelter, privacy and clearly defined boundaries. The River Pant also forms part of the south western boundary, further enhancing the setting and overall appeal of the property.
