Description
LAND
The land is situated about 5.5 miles southeast of Wigton. It lies as a whole in a ring fence with road frontage to the B5299. The land also benefits from shared use of a access track lying to the west.
The land is broadly divided as 57.94 acres of rough grazing and 24.66 acres of mowable pasture. It is predominantly level with some gentle undulation in height between 250 to 270 metres above sea level. Around two thirds of the land is classified as Grade 5 under the MAFF Provisional Agricultural Land Classification. The remainder, located to the south, is considered Grade 4 classification. Soils are from the Brickfield 3 series, common to the locality, described as slowly permeable seasonally waterlogged fine loamy soil, suitable for stock rearing and grazing.
The sale offers significant amenity, biodiversity and environmental opportunities, such as upland heath restoration, carbon sequestration or Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG). The land could also generate significant income if included in a Sustainable Farming Incentive Scheme (SFI) or Countryside Stewardship Scheme (CSS). The setting of the land is superb, located on the northern fringe of the Lake District National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Acreage: 81.72 Acres

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
