Land for sale

7.55 acres of pastureland will be offered for sale by public auction (subject to prior sale, reserve and conditions) at 6:30pm on Tuesday 16th July 2024 at The View, Hill Farm Marina, Stratford Road, Wootton Wawen, Warwickshire, B95 6DE.

This well-located block of old-established permanent pasture lies to the north of the A4189 Warwick Road, on the outskirts of Claverdon. The land is slightly elevated, some 2 miles west of Henley in Arden, 5 miles from Warwick, 10 miles from Solihull and 6 miles from Stratford upon Avon.

Lying along the length of the eastern boundary, the land has long frontage to Hercules Lane, a green lane/bridleway leading to Lye Green and Yarningale Common, with its quiet country lanes and bridleways, ideal for the equestrian enthusiast. In addition, the land has in place a stoned track leading from the public highway (Henley Road) along the southern boundary, before turning northwards to a cleared area where there is planning permission (20/01398/FUL) granted by Stratford on Avon District Council (27th January 2021) for the erection of a barn on the land for safe storage. The proposed 4-bay, steel portal framed barn would measure some 24m x 12m, providing secure indoor storage for farm machinery and fodder, which, when erected will be of considerable benefit to the land and occupier.

Agent's Note - The guide price offers an indication of the price below which the vendor is not willing to sell. It is not necessarily the exact final sale price and is subject to change prior to and up until the day of the auction. Any change in the guide price will reflect a change in the reserve (a figure below which the auctioneer will not be able to sell). The reserve can be expected to be set within the guide range or not more than 10% above a single figure guide (RICS Common Auction Conditions 7th Edition).
