Property Description
Location
The land is located on the north east edge of the village of Sandon and is within easy reach of both the A10 (approximately 3.7 miles east) and A505 (approximately 2.5 miles north). Local amenities are available in Sandon, Therfield and surrounding villages. The nearby towns of Buntingford and Baldock offer a wider range of facilities and are approximately 5.4 miles and 6.5 miles distant respectively.
Description
The land extends to approximately 10.07 acres (4.08 hectares), and is accessed via Gannock Road, with a yard and former stable building being located to the east of the site, and the land extending towards the west. The former stable building originally comprised approximately 2,100 sq.ft. Of floor space and there is potential to reinstate this as an agricultural building, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.
The site previously benefitted from planning permission to replace the buildings on site with a stable block and storage barn (North Herts planning reference 11/00510/1), however this has now lapsed and the existing buildings have been partly demolished and deteriorated in condition since this time.
The land is predominantly in arable production and is classified as Grade 2 on the Agricultural Land Classification Map – it is bordered to the north and south by agricultural land and may be suitable for equestrian or amenity uses subject to gaining any necessary planning permissions. A bridleway abuts the western boundary and a public footpath intersects the land. Additional land may be available by separate negotiation.
Directions
From the A505, take the exit signed towards Sandon that is adjacent to the Country Boarding Kennels & Dog Park and follow the road for 2.5 miles – the land is on the right-hand side before you enter the village of Sandon.
