On West Leith, Tring, Hertfordshire, HP23 6JJ
A desirable opportunity to purchase a self-enclosed parcel of attractive pasture land within the London commuter belt. Totalling just over 7 acres, the land is for sale as a whole or in just 3 lots and is suitable for a variety of amenity, recreational or other uses (STPP).
Each lot has been marked out by a professional surveyor and has been fenced. The site enjoys extensive road frontage and benefits from excellent access via a secure double-gated entrance that is set back from the road.
The land is situated on the southern edge of Tring, just a 15 minute walk from its bustling High Street which offers an extensive mix of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. It is also superbly located for road and rail links into London.
House prices in Tring are 69% above the national average reflecting the desirability of the area as a place to live and own property – including land. Indeed, the local council states that land for "small-scale 'hobby farming' and the demand for horse paddocks and ménages is on the increase, particularly on the urban fringe".
The site enjoys extensive road frontage onto West Leith & the A41 and benefits from excellent access via a secure double-gated entrance that is set back from the road. Full vehicular right of way is provided to all lots via an easement.
The land is situated within the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and the Green Belt. The land also lies within part of an Area of Archaeological Interest. Any development would be subject to the appropriate planning permission.
The land is subject to an Overage based on 20% of any uplift in value following the grant of planning permission for development other than that which is for agricultural or private equestrian purposes. The Overage period is 20 years from October 2020.
The land is offered for sale by private treaty as a whole or in lots. The freehold is available with vacant possession upon completion. If you have an alternative budget or size requirement, we may be able help. Please call 01582 788870 for more information.
Land supply remains at a record low, but growing demand sees land values edge higher
The average price of land increased by 3% last year. The amount of land coming onto the market remains at an all-time low. This record low level of supply continues to underpin the growing demand for land, a trend which is expected to continue in 2021.
Lifestyle and amenity land has been particularly sought after as Covid-19 increased the desire for more green space.
Demand from private investors and lifestyle buyers has grown and together they have accounted for 40% of land purchases in the last three years. There has also been an increased number of overseas buyers as the pound remains relatively weak.
With bank interest rates remaining low, land continues to be seen as a safe, long-term investment – particularly during times of economic uncertainty.
