Description

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a 2.17-acre plot of undulating pasture land on a residential road, opposite detached houses and with extensive road frontage onto Mancroft Road. The land is situated in a desirable location, close to the village of Slip End and the Green Belt, with excellent transport links and amenities nearby. The site is suitable for grazing, smallholding, or recreational use, subject to planning consents. The land is classified as "inset" Green Belt, meaning normal planning policy applies, and there is no overage or clawback. The area has seen significant rises in land values in recent years, driven by low levels of land availability and high demand. The land is being sold by private treaty, with vacant possession available on completion.
