LOCATION

The land is situate to the west of the market town of March in north Cambridgeshire, with easy access from the A141, March bypass. March lies approximately 15 miles east of Peterborough and 11 miles south of Wisbech.

DESCRIPTION

A single parcel of established grass land extending to 31.01 acres (12.55 hectares) (more or less), with a network of hardened roadways and mature hedges and trees. The field is numbered TL3994 - 5372 on the Rural Payments Agency system and is registered at the Land Registry under Title Number CB108691.

Initially a machinery sale ground from 1990, the land has subsequently been used for a variety of one-off leisure functions in conjunction with grazing and the regular production of hay.

There is a single portacabin on site, which is included in the sale, also a loading ramp. There are water troughs and two stand pipes at various locations around the field. There are two owl nesting boxes, on poles, on the south eastern and south western corners.

NOTE The two small sheds near the loading ramp and all machinery, implements and sundry items are excluded from the sale. These may be available by separate negotiation.

SERVICES

Main water is connected and there is a septic tank on site. The electricity supply has been disconnected and the meter removed, but it has served temporary buildings and flood lighting in the past.
