The land is located on the east side of Gaysfield Road immediately on the south east sector of the village of Fishtoft, an attractive Fenland settlement lying within 2 miles of the centre of Boston with an extensive range of facilities and amenities available in the Boston District.

DESCRIPTION
The land extends in total to approximately 9.55 Acres (3.85 Hectares) or thereabouts, and is offered for sale as a whole. A plan showing the land (for identification purposes) is included in these Particulars. Access is to be provided from Gaysfield Road just to the south of the scout hut. The shape of the site has allowed for two imaginative design schemes, the larger for Open Market housing and the smaller for a very attractive crescent shaped development for the Affordable element. The land is currently in agricultural use/production.

The village of Fishtoft has a parish church, primary school, playing field and public house but a wider choice of amenities and facilities in the Boston District generally are within easy travelling distance.
