DESCRIPTION
The sale of the land at Heugh Hill presents an ideal and rare opportunity to purchase a well located and convenient parcel of land, on the edge of Springwell currently used and operated as a gun club.
The property extends to 6.23 acres (2.52 hectares) of land in total and comprises mainly of grassland and amenity scrub land which has been utilised to provide an accessible arena for a clay shooting club together with a small area of hard standing suitable for car parking.
LOCATION
The property is located on the north side of Springwell, in the Heugh Hill area, with access off Uplands Way. Springwell sits between the A194(M) to the east, the B1288 to the west and provides excellent access to the neighbouring conurbations of Washington, Gateshead, Sunderland and Newcastle upon Tyne. The property’s situation is ideal in its nature as a former clay shooting ground in green belt designated land, and its close proximity to the region’s major towns and cities allows the property to be easily serviced from afar.
