Description

The Michie Group LLP are delighted to bring to the open market an exciting opportunity to acquire a readily accessible, productive block of predominantly arable land extending to 79.99 acres (32.37 hectares) or thereabouts.

It is thought this attractive prospect is to be of interest to a wide range of potential purchasers with the land being well suited and capable of producing consistently high yielding combinable crops.

LOCATION & SITUATION

The land benefits from being well situated, located and accessed directly from the adjacent public highway, less than 2 miles from the nearby village of Ulgham and approximately 6 miles North East from Morpeth. The A1068 Coastal Route is only a short distance away providing a regional link up and down the County.

FARMLAND DESCRIPTION

The land at Ulgham Grange presents an excellent opportunity to acquire an attractive, well portioned block of land. Arranged into four adjoining parcels, the arable land extending to approximately 64.93 acres (26.28 hectares) is bordered by approximately 15.06 acres (6.09 hectares) of woodland, with the River Lyne running to the South of the property. An existing track from the highway ensures the land is readily accessible and accommodating of modern farm machinery, all year round.

Classified as Grade 3 on the Provisional Agricultural Land Classification Map, the versatile land at Ulgham Grange benefits from being farmed and well maintained as part of the Vendors wider arable rotation. It is no surprise that the land is capable of producing consistently high yielding combinable crops.

The sale will be subject to a holdover provision until the 1st October 2025 as the Vendor will retain the right to harvest the growing crop.

The land at Ulgham Grange will be free from any environmental scheme upon completion of the sale, therefore, a desiring purchaser if they wish to do so will have the ability to enter any one of the numerous environmental subsidy schemes available, subject to their status.
