Description
This exceptional property offers a highly accessible and productive block of ring-fenced arable land, totaling approximately 42.23 ha (104.36 acres) in the picturesque area of Whitley Bay. The land is located near the coast, with stunning views and an array of wildlife, including Grey Partridge and Curlews. The land is currently farmed in hand by the vendors and has historically been well managed, with regular inputs of fertilizers and sprays, making it productive. The arable crops currently growing are Spring Barley and Winter Wheat, with 0.7 ha of permanent pasture, 4.5 ha of meadow, and 5.0 ha of grass ley. The land lends itself to a wide range of agricultural and business opportunities, including contract farming, letting, or satellite farming operations. Its proximity to major towns and cities, including Newcastle, makes it an attractive investment opportunity, with potential for offsetting environmental obligations through biodiversity net gain and other schemes. The land is classified as Grade 3, with slowly permeable seasonally wet acid loamy and clayey soils, and is subject to a Higher Level (HLS) Countryside Stewardship agreement.
