About this property
Key Features
Accessible semi-rural location on the edge of Great Wratting village
Dilapidated timber sheds
Former coarse fishery with scope for rural business and leisure uses
5.85 acres of meadowland and lakes with frontage to River Stour
Description
An excellent opportunity to acquire a 5.85 acre parcel of meadowland and three established lakes located on the edge of the desirable West Suffolk village of Great Wratting. The two principal ponds extend to approximately 0.53 acres and 0.43 acres respectively, with a smaller stock pond of around 0.15 acres. The ponds have previously been operated as a day-ticket coarse fishery but have not been managed or fished in recent years.
The land provides potential for reinstatement as a fishery, subject to the necessary consents, or for a range of alternative recreational, leisure and outdoor uses. The property enjoys approximately 90 metres of frontage to the River Stour, together with mature wooded boundaries.
There are a number of dilapidated timber sheds and a static caravan which we understand have been in-situ for 30+ years.
The land has been unmanaged for a number of years and would benefit from clearance and maintenance works. Access is taken from the B1061 and via a right of way over the access track leading from Coronation Cottages.
No services are connected to the land.
Tenure
