Description
Land
The land is situated about 5.5 miles southeast of Wigton. It lies as a whole in a ring fence with road frontage to the B5299. The land also benefits from shared use of a access track lying to the west.
The land is broadly divided as 57.94 acres of rough grazing and 24.66 acres of mowable pasture. It is predominantly level with some gentle undulation in height between 250 to 270 metres above sea level. Around two thirds of the land is classified as Grade 5 under the maff Provisional Agricultural Land Classification. The remainder, located to the south, is considered Grade 4 classification. Soils are from the Brickfield 3 series, common to the locality, described as slowly permeable seasonally waterlogged fine loamy soil, suitable for stock rearing and grazing.
The sale offers significant amenity, biodiversity and environmental opportunities, such as upland heath restoration, carbon sequestration or Biodiversity Net Gain (bng). The land could also generate significant income if included in a Sustainable Farming Incentive Scheme (sfi) or Countryside Stewardship Scheme (css). The setting of the land is superb, located on the northern fringe of the Lake District National Park, a unesco World Heritage Site.
