Manor Farm & White Ollands Farm - Lot 3

Lot 3 can be accessed either from the north along the track which emanates from Wellington Road and Hillside in Melton Constable. The purchaser will have an all-purpose right of way over this track. The land can also be accessed via Briston and Ridlands Road to the east, and spurring off from Ridlands Road is Hazelwood Lane, which gives access to the land and the redundant traditional barn with planning potential. The arable land can all be irrigated via the ring main with a number of hydrant points. At the centre of Lot 3 is Briston Gorse, a mature mixed woodland, which is a haven for wildlife and has been managed commercially. This is a mixture of deciduous species sown in alternate rows with a softwood nurse crop. Ridlands Wood has also been managed commercially. There are a number of ponds throughout Lot 3, including pond 10 in the southwestern corner, which houses a broad bio-diversity of aquatic wildlife. Towards the southern part of Lot 3, but situated relatively centrally is a single storey traditional redundant agricultural building, formerly a cattle yard. This has significant potential for conversion to a residential and would make a superb dwelling, subject to planning permission being granted. It is of brick and flint elevations under a pantile roof and has a walled courtyard. There are two fields currently down to grass, and these have been let to a local grazier on an annual licence. The arable land has been cropped in the past with sugar beet, potatoes, wheat, barley and oil seed rape in a traditional rotation. There are some delightful hedges, and wildlife, and Lot 3 would be suitable for a small shoot. There are no footpaths or rights of way across the land.
