This flat pasture land is suitable for a range of recreational or amenity uses, such as camping or hobby farming, or a variety of other uses subject to any necessary planning consent. Good gated access is provided from Model Row. The land is situated on the northern edge of the affluent village of Buckland, north of Aston Clinton and just 3 miles west of Aylesbury. The area enjoys good transport links with the nearby A41 providing a fast, direct link to the M25 and Aylesbury and Tring train stations. House prices in the area are 57% the national average reflecting the desirability of the area as a place to own property – including land. <b style="color:green;font-weight:bold">ACCESS</b> The land enjoys extensive road frontage onto Model Row from where it can be accessed via a gate. The land also benefits from approx. 51m / 170ft of canal frontage onto the Aylesbury Arm of the Grand Union Canal. <b style="color:green;font-weight:bold">GRAND UNION CANAL</b> The land lies on the northern edge of the Aylesbury Arm of the Grand Union Canal. The arm branches off from the Grand Union Canal at Marsworth, near the Tring reservoirs and ends at the new &pound;2m marina at the Aylesbury Basin next to the Waterside Theatre and close to all the amenities of the town centre. The Grand Union Canal links London to Birmingham, passing through rolling countryside, industrial towns and peaceful villages, with plenty to do along the way. <b style="color:green;font-weight:bold">LAND VALUES</b> Land values rose again last quarter by 2%, bringing growth over the past 12 months to 7% with pasture land prices in the region 16% higher than the average. Once again land has outperformed other asset classes during this time especially at a time when most residential property prices fell. A lack of supply and continued strong demand from a wide variety of buyers helped support these rising land values, despite the recent downturn in economic conditions as land continues to be regarded as a tangible safe-haven for investors. Going forward, the outlook for the land market is positive as the trend of low supply and high demand look set to continue to drive up land values. <b style="color:green;font-weight:bold">LOCATION</b> - 1.4 miles to Aston Clinton - 3.4 miles to Aylesbury - 3.4 miles to Tring - 8.1 miles to Berkhamsted - 18.2 miles to Watford - 19.2 miles to Bicester The land is pleasantly situated on the edge of the affluent village of Buckland in Aylesbury, north of the Grand Union Canal.
