Description

We are delighted to be able to bring to the market this super, versatile parcel of land which includes a piece of local history with a Grade II listed Powder House.

The land is held in a single enclosure surrounded by mature hedges and stock fencing with a number of mature trees along the northern boundary. The land benefits from a wonderful open southerly aspect with views over the Cam Valley and beyond.

Good gated road access is provided onto Red Hill with an access track giving space to pull off the road safely with the a trailer. There is a second access point onto Red Hill which has not been used for some time and interested parties must rely on their own enquiries in this regard.

The Powder House sits in the centre of the field and is a small stone built building under a tiled roof with a riveted steel door in the southern elevation. Dating to around 1870 it would have been built to store the explosives for the Camerton Old Pit and New Pit. Powders Houses were often built in isolated positions because of the threat of explosions.

Subject to gaining any of the necessary consents, the land would lend itself to an agricultural, equestrian or perhaps conversation use.
