Size: 2.00 acres
Guide Price: £160,000
Vantage Land are extremely excited to present to you this good-sized block of land in the highly sought-after town of Marlow.
This gently sloping, 2-acre parcel of grazing land features direct gated access and excellent road frontage. It is screened from the road by mature hedgerow and trees, and the south-eastern boundary is believed to be fenced.
Lying just off the Marlow Road, the land is stone’s throw away from the centre of Marlow and all it has to offer. An affluent town on the River Thames, Marlow has an abundance of shops, cafés, bars and restaurants.
The area also boasts fantastic transport links making the site easily accessible from London, Oxford and the Midlands via the M40, and from London Heathrow and the South West via the M4.
The desirability of this area is reflected in its property prices, which are more than double the national average. It’s therefore not surprising to learn that there is a recognized need for housing within the district, and the Local Plan has removed six sites from the within the Green Belt and Chilterns National Landscape and allocated them for development.
The land enjoys approx. 52 metres of road frontage and benefits from direct gated access from Seymour Plain Road. A right of way for other land owners runs along the roadside boundary.
The land is situated within the Chiltern Hills National Landscape and the Metropolitan Green Belt. Any development or change of use would be subject to the appropriate permission.
The land is subject to an Overage based on 25% of any uplift in value following the grant of planning permission for development other than that which is for agricultural or equestrian purposes. The Overage period is 20 years from April 2021 and is for the benefit of a previous owner.
The land is offered for sale by private treaty. The freehold is available with vacant possession upon completion.
Land values rose again last year.
Pasture land prices in the region are 14% higher than the national average as land values rose again last year, despite numerous challenges in the local market & global economy. This once again shows the inherent resilience of agricultural land as a tangible asset.
With a wide range of potential uses, agricultural land remains an attractive investment for a diverse range of buyers.
This is supported by that fact that, in the past 5 years, land values have risen by 31%, outperforming the FTSE 100, UK property prices and interest from savings in the bank.
