Lot 1
A ring-fenced block of productive upland meadow and grazing land offering a diverse and ecologically valuable landscape with scattered mature trees and shrub cover. The land is divided into three parcels, enclosed by a traditional combination of dry-stone walls and stock fencing. The land slopes gently upwards from the road entrance.
The land benefits from direct access from the adjacent Council maintained public highway. The land in parcel SD 4392 6470 is subject to third party rights of access granted for agricultural purposes to neighbouring fields.
Lot 2
An outstanding block of upland pasture extending to 136.35 acres (58.18 hectares). The land rises from approximately 55 metres above sea level at the western entrance to the summit of Lord’s Lot at around 205 metres above sea level, affording exceptional panoramic views across the Winster Valley and towards the Lake District Fells.
Access is available by vehicle via a stoned shared access track (marked brown on the Sale Plan) or via Lot 1 if purchased as a whole. A public footpath crosses the land, and the entire parcel is designated as open access land under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000.
The land comprises species-rich grassland and scrub, with notable areas of heather and bilberry, interspersed with rocky outcrops. It has been identified by Natural England as supporting habitat for the fritillary butterfly, underlining its ecological importance. The land is considered to be of high biodiversity and nature conservation interest, although it is not subject to any statutory environmental designations, offering flexibility for future conservation-led land management initiatives.
The land offers great sporting potential, with sporting rights included on both lots. The land has previously been used for pheasant shooting, clay pigeon shooting and deer stalking but there are no existing agreements in place.
