Description

A truly fantastic and unique opportunity to purchase an attractive lake, which is set within a peaceful setting, surrounded by idyllic countryside and offers interested parties a retreat from day to day living. The site has been sympathetically enhanced by the current owners and has been used for their private enjoyment.

The lot boasts high conservational appeal, being designated within the Westhay Moors SSSI and attracts a diverse range of fauna throughout the year.

Key features of the lot include –

1. The lake has a large amount of rudd and perch, a few tench as well as a stocking of 30no. carp, which were introduced circa three years ago and weigh up to 27lb.

2. An attractive and spacious log cabin with adjoining store, which includes log burner and provides day-time accommodation. Connected to the log cabin is a water treatment plant (to be activated).

2. Raised banks including clear pathways and bridges leading to fishing stations and islands.

4. Entire site otter fenced with 2no. vehicular access points.

5. Right of way access over Skimmers Drove

Interested parties are strongly encouraged to view this lot in order to experience its many advantages.

Registering to bid and Administration fee

Cooper and Tanner requires all bidders who wish to bid at our Auction to register beforehand, whether you are intending on bidding in the room, by proxy or online. As part of the registration process, you will be asked to provide card details in order that the Buyer’s Administration Fee of £1,350 inc VAT can be paid if you are successful. A week before the auction a hold will be placed on your account for this sum, which will then be released if you are unsuccessful. This fee will only be taken if you are the successful buyer. The fee is retained by Cooper and Tanner and does not form part of your deposit or completion settlement. Please also be aware that the Buyer’s Administration fee is payable per lot purchased and applicable on all pre-auction sales. If you are successful in purchasing more than one lot, we will contact you following the auction to take subsequent payments for additional lots bought. All checks required by current anti-money laundering legislation must be satisfactorily completed, as part of the registration process before prior approval to bid will be granted; this will include providing proof of funds.
