DESCRIPTION - AUCTION GUIDE £110,000-£140,000

An attractive stone lane running leads to a five bar timber gate opens car parking area together with open grassland within which includes a block Store Building and other ancillary sheds in various states of repair, as well as a compost Toilet. There are a number of other buildings in various states of disrepair located around the site. Formerly a China Clay quarry, the property has been naturally reclaimed and offers a delightful peaceful environment in a tucked away, yet accessible, position. The lake will appeal to a range of purchasers from those looking to enjoy the fishing opportunities, where there is private and commercial potential, to those appreciating the diverse conservational and environmental appeal of the whole site. With a meandering bank, the lake naturally varies in different parts and there is a central island accessible by boat. The angling can be enjoyed by boat or a number of specific locations around the bank. Around the lake is a swathe of mature mixed broad-leaf woodland and undulating ground providing a variety of wildlife habitats. The woodland surrounds the lake with a number of gullies and valleys creating much atmosphere and from several headlands there are open views across the lake. The understory presents a number of flowering Rhododendrons and in the early summer there are numerous Bluebells. To the south of the entrance lane is a run of further deciduous woodland through which a gurgling stream runs. 

FISHING LICENCE/AGREEMENT

The lake is currently stocked and managed by a fishing syndicate who occupy the site by permission of the vendors under a Licence/Agreement.
