The land is serviced via a natural water supply. Historically a mains supply has been utilised however this was shared with the nearby pub. The restoration of this and/or an alternative mains supply would need to be investigated by the buyer.

It is assumed that there is a mains electric supply nearby with telegraph poles and an electric line crossing the property. Connectivity to this would need to be investigated by the buyer

The land´s current and traditional use is Agriculture. The larger field (Lot 1) is currently grazed albeit it´s locality, flat and accessible nature does suggest it may plough, subject to obtaining any necessary consents. Whilst the two paddocks (Lot 2) which lie to the north of the road are annually cut for silage.

The land is located in an area where land sales are scarce and especially those of a convenient size. The proximity of the land to popular towns such as Belsay, Stamfordham and Ponteland as well as Newcastle -upon -Tyne ensures that it is highly accessible and offers an easy escape from urban life.

Lot 1 - As shaded blue, comprises of 13.20 acres (5.34 ha) of agricultural land. Predominantly flat in nature and benefiting from good access to a public highway.

Lot 2 - As shaded red, consists of two handy sized agricultural fields to total 8.52 acres (3.44 ha). Currently utilised as mowing ground, they would though make ideal pony, paddocks and/or a small holding aided by their dual access and their natural split.

Further lotting maybe considered however any such enquires should be made direct to the selling agent and at the earliest stage possible.
