INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE A CONTIGUOUS BLOCK OF QUALITY AGRICULTURAL LAND EXTENDNG TO APPROX. 102.28 ACRES (41.39 HA) IN TOTAL

DESCRIPTION 

The subject lands extend to a total of 102.28 acres, of which 100.65 acres is arable. The free draining, productive farmland is laid out over 4 fields, with each generally of a good shape and size for modern agriculture.

The lands are currently laid in grass and the topography is a combination of level and gently undulating land, ranging in elevation from about 5.9 metres (19.3 feet) above sea level at the south of the farm to about 8.2 metres (27.0 feet) above sea level at the north of the farm.

The land lies within a continuous block and has been well tended to by the current owners. It benefits from mains water and can be easily accessed from The Bucks Head Road. Additional access is provided off Farranfad Road via a formal right of way highlighted yellow on the boundary plan. Farm maps can be provided upon request.

Planning permission has previously been passed on lands located to the north-west for a detached dwelling under reference R/2005/1517/RM.

It is rare for plots of this size to come to the market in the area so demand will be strong and early viewing is recommended.
