About this property

  • The land at Woodlands Farm is located on the western edge of the Mendip Hills (AONB) just one mile from Loxton, a village and civil parish in Somerset. Weston-Super-Mare and the coastline is approximately six miles to the west and Junction 22 of the M5 can be found just six miles south. The City of Bristol is just 20 miles north and is home to mainline railway stations as well as an International Airport.

    The land offers the market a rare opportunity to acquire approximately 89 acres of agricultural land and woodland and is being offered for sale as a whole or in two lots.

    Lot 1 comprises an interesting parcel of agricultural land and woodland full of opportunity extending to just under 65 acres in all. A large proportion of the woodland has previously suffered from ash dieback which has now been professionally extracted and removed. This provides an exciting opportunity for an incoming purchaser to undertake a replanting programme with the potential aid of a government grant
    scheme. Species that will require replanting contain oak, hornbeam, birch and mixed broadleaves and will need to be completed before 30th June 2032. Lot 1 has separate direct road access.

    Lot 2 comprises an excellent run of pasture divided into three, gently sloping interconnecting enclosures which are all down to good quality, free draining pasture. Part of the land is designated as Grade 1 according to the land classification maps and has been used for grazing and mowing purposes. The land has in the past grown cereal crops although not within the vendors ownership. The land is stock proof fenced in the main and is complete with a mains water supply. There is direct road access from the southern boundary.

Additional information

  • Access: Direct from a public highway.
  • Services: There is a mains water supply. The purchaser is to install a sub meter.
  • Designations: The land is within the Mendip Hills AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). There are two areas to the north and west of Lot 1 within the Shiplate Slait SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest).
