Opportunity to Secure Grazing Rights on Crosby Garrett Common
Our South Lakes office are offering by Informal Tender, grazing rights equating to 257.5 sheep or equivalent livestock on Crosby Garrett Regulated Common near Kirkby Stephen in Cumbria.
Open market sales of Common Rights are unusual with most rights being attached to land. These particular rights are held in gross allowing the sale to occur independent of any freehold land sale. The rights amount to 257.5 stints on Crosby Garrett Regulated Common (CL4) and are held under entries 79, 80, and 81 of the Commons Register. Located just north of Crosby Garrett village, and approximately 5 miles from Kirkby Stephen, the block which is to graze as per an agreed stocking calendar is temporarily enclosed and served by a mains fed water trough shared with other commoners on the neighbouring open Common.
Offers in excess of £65,000 are invited by Informal Tender no later than 12 noon on Friday 3rd May 2024.
These grazing rights are subject to an extended 5-year agreement for UELS and HLS, which gross an average annual income of almost £10,940. As such the purchaser will be required to comply with an agreed stocking calendar determining cattle and sheep grazing until the end of the five-year extension to the UELS/HLS Agreement. They will also also be required to take over the maintenance of the water trough, with water usage costs shared proportionately with the other commoners.
Sales of such large blocks of Common Rights are very unusual, and this sale presents a very attractive opportunity particularly to other commoners and local farmers. We would expect a good level of interest and suitable offer/s to secure a successful purchase.
With cattle grazing due to commence on the 16th May 2024, the successful purchaser should have stock available to become an active grazier with immediate effect, thereafter.
Full particulars on the sale and further details on the HLS and ELS/UELS schemes and income are available, and the land may be viewed at any reasonable time by prospective buyers with a copy of the Sale Particulars.
