CLOSING DATE FOR OFFERS – 12 NOON, FRIDAY 18TH NOVEMBER 2022

The Land at Cumcatch Farm is located just east of the Market town of Brampton being highly accessible from adjoining public roads.

Lots 1 and 2, shown outlined in red and green respectively on the attached plan, are bounded to the north by the old Newcastle Road (A6071) and to the south by the Brampton Bypass (A69).

Lot 3, shown outlined in blue on the attached plan, is bounded to the north by the Brampton Bypass (A69) and to the east by Milton Rigg Wood. The land to the west and south belongs to the vendors.

This sale offers an opportunity to purchase the land totalling 95.25 acres as a whole or in three lots.

Both plots benefit from mains water supply to a good range of troughs.

Some separation of the existing water supply affecting lot 1 and 2 will be required as the lots currently benefit form two supplies, one from the farm steading (not included in the sale) and the second from a meter connection to the United Utility mains on the edge of the Newcastle Road (A6071), marked with an X on the attached plan.

Once the sale is completed the connection to the main farm steading will be terminated. The existing water trough in lot 2, previously supplied from that main, will need to be reconnected to the separate supply still to be retained in Lot 1.

From junction 43 of the M6 head East along the A69 towards Brampton for approximately 6.5 miles until you reach the main Brampton roundabout. Take the third exit signposted for Hexham and Newcastle still following on the A69. Continue on this road until you reach a sign on the right hand side signposted “Hallbankgate and Alston” on the A689/Station Road. The land can be found either side of the road, Lot 1and 2 on the left and Lot 2 on the right.

Access to Lot 1 and 2 is best obtained from the old Newcastle Road (A6071). A lane from the Newcastle Road to Cumcatch Farm passed between the lots before it passes under the A69.

Access to Lot 3 is via a field gate set back off the A69.

The location of the land is shown on the plans within these particulars and will be identified by way of PFK for sale boards.
