Great Salkeld, Penrith, CA11

This sale of land at Great Salkeld offers a rare opportunity to purchase a parcel of agricultural land, with significant amenity value and importance to wildlife, located on the periphery of this popular Eden Valley village.

The land will be of interest to farmers looking to expand their existing landholding; anyone with amenity, environmental or smallholding interests; and also people looking at alternative land uses.

The Land

This land sale offers an excellent opportunity to purchase a parcel of land located on the edge of Great Salkeld village.

The land is dominated by a steep bank which becomes a rounded, wooded hill which benefits from views down to the River Eden and railway viaduct on the Settle to Carlisle line. The wood on the hill is historically known as Huffa Plantation.

The land is accessed off Eden Lane which runs east from the village to the river. There is a steep verge to the gate which makes vehicle access to the difficult.

The land lies at approximately 100 metres above mean sea level. The land is within a nitrate vulnerable zone and is Grade 3 under the former MAFF land classification system.

Tenure

The land is offered for sale freehold with vacant possession upon the date of completion.
