Key Points
Planning
The main barn was granted prior approval for use as a storage building connected with forestry use in August 2008. Despite this, the buildings and open storage land have for a number of years been utilised for the purposes of commercial storage.
Utilities
The site has mains water and private drainage. There is no mains electricity currently on site, with the buildings presently being powered through the use of a
generator. We understand it would be possible for mains electricity to be connected to the site. There is an LPG gas tank providing gas to a central heating system within the main building.
Tenure
Offers are invited in the region of £1,000,000 for the freehold interest of the site to include the buildings and woodland.
VAT
VAT is not applicable on the terms quoted.
