About this property

  • Cerney Wick Farm

    Situated to the west of the A419, the Basin Meadows comprise approximately 145 acres of water meadows which provide environmental amenity land with potential for summer grazing. The total area of water meadows, pasture, rough grassland and woodland extends to 183.30 acres. A stream runs through the land, a tributary of the River Churn which leads into the River Thames. The meadows are renowned for the rare snake head fritillaries, the largest population of which is seen in the adjoining National Nature Reserve at Cricklade North Meadows.

    Previously forming part of the Cotswolds Canal, which ran alongside the river, the land has significant environmental and amenity appeal. Lake 97 is a large, former gravel works, now used as a lake for leisure and recreational purposes. The lake is let on a Business Tenancy, producing a rent of £10,000 per annum. Across the entire lot, the combined areas of water, rivers & ponds extend to 35.75 acres.

    The various areas and land uses present opportunities to enhance the income streams through natural capital opportunities and leisure uses.
