DESCRIPTION
The sale of the land at Shipton Shield provides a purchaser with an opportunity to acquire an accessible and diverse block of land in a tranquil area of Northumberland. The property extends to approximately 0.55 hectares (1.36 acres) and comprises of a mixture of woodland, pastureland and small stretch of the Sipton Burn. The land benefits from excellent roadside access and water via a natural supply

The land offers the opportunity of a variety of uses. The pastureland offers a useful space for grazing or alternative amenity uses. There is a dramatic waterfall and Sipton Bridge viaduct on the land which provides an ideal backdrop to the serene calm created by the burn.

Likewise, the siting of the land, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and on a well-travelled tourist route, with easy access to Allendale, suggests that potential small-scale diversification into the sphere of Tourism and Leisure could be a possibility, again such a change of use (on a permanent basis) would require planning permission and separate advice should be taken on this.

The availability of well-located, accessible, and diverse plots of land are scarce. The opportunities presented by this sale in terms of diversification and/or any change of use are evident, however equally a purchaser may well simply want to continue the land’s existing uses in that it provides the ideal basis for a smallholding, with grazing, environmental and amenity uses.
