A parcel of former quarry land, now restored to a wetland wildlife habitat, with potential for a variety of different uses. PROPERTY The land at Trewint Marsh comprises approximately 16.98 acres of wetland interspersed with ponds or varying sizes and wooded areas. The site has historically been used for quarrying purposes and as such benefits from good access being located immediately off the A30. Not used for such purposes for over 15 years and the site restored to a wetland habitat, it now offers potential for various other uses, the most obvious being for high quality conservation or recreation, or by virtue of its location, for uses that might be more commercial in their nature (subject to obtaining any necessary consents). METHOD OF SALE The land is offered for sale by Traditional Online Auction at a guide price of £55,000 - £75,000. The auction will conclude at 12:00pm on Wednesday 18th September 2024. The property will be sold subject to an undisclosed reserve price and the vendor/s reserve the right for the auctioneer to bid in the usual way on their behalf up to the reserve. The vendor reserves the right to withdraw or alter the property for sale prior to the auction end date.
