DESCRIPTION

The site comprises pasture land extending to some 7.36 acres (2.98 hectares), to include a former Radio Mast and steel container, the full extent of the property being as shown outlined in red on the site plan.
The sellers undertake to dismantle and remove the mast between exchange of contracts and completion or within 8 weeks of legal completion (in the event that the weather or other factors may not allow this work to take place between exchange of contracts and completion) should the buyer not wish this to remain.
