Property description
AUCTION (Unless sold prior), 18th August, 2pm at The Countryman Inn, Langdon Cross, Launceston. An excellent block of approximately 55.30 acres (22.38 ha) of highly productive arable and grass land. Ring fenced level/gently sloping land with road frontage and good access. Superb multi-purpose agricultural building with cattle handling area and bale store. Planning permission for a 80kw wind turbine.
Situation
The land and buildings at Stenhill are located in the favoured farming Parish of North Petherwin, near Langdon Cross on the B3254 Launceston to Holsworthy main road. The market town of Launceston with its impressive Norman castle, lies some 6 miles to the south and offers a wide range of business, leisure and recreational facilities. The town straddles the A30 main trunk road and this provides a fast link to the city of Exeter with its mainline railway station and regional airport. Holsworthy, to the north, is a half hours drive away and again offers a range of amenities including two veterinary practices, feed and agricultural merchants and as well as the purpose built Agri–Business Centre with the new livestock market.
Description
Extending to some 55.30 acres (22.39 ha), the land at Stenhill comprises a superb block of versatile arable and grassland. It is contained within a ring fence and has parish road frontage with excellent access. The majority of the land is currently planted in winter barley with some grazing/fodder fields. It is mostly level or very gently sloping and is mainly south facing. The fences and hedges have been well maintained.
There is the added bonus of an extremely useful multi purpose agricultural building 90' x 75' (27.41m x 22.84m). Timber frame construction, dung boarding and Yorkshire boarding to eaves under a fibre cement roof. There is a concreted floor throughout and diagonal feed barriers with loose pens and a bale/machinery store. Outside the building is a concreted yard with cattle handling area and adjoining hard standing with further bale store. The yard and building have a independent track access from the parish road.
Planning Permission
Planning permission has been successfully gained for a wind turbine on the site (see land plan). The developers, Mosscliff Enviromental have kindly
prepared the following notes regarding the above; The planning permission is on the basis that some of the power generated will be used by the farm building. A grid connection has been secured by the developer for up to an 80kW export - which would dictate an Endurance e3120 model.
There is a small wayleave issue that needs to be sorted out on the grid connection but that can’t be organised until the new landowner has decided what they wish to do. The intention was for the developer Mosscliff Environmental to lease the site (just the footprint of the turbine & cabling routes as shown).
Mosscliff are happy to discuss the project with any subsequent purchasers, effect a lease deal on the turbine, or sell the project to the new landowner at cost on the proviso that the turbine is ordered from and installed by Mosscliff Environmental at competitive rates.
The landowner was due to receive an annual rental, subsidised connection of the barn to single phase 240v power supply, and an ongoing supply of cheap electricity.

Mains water is connected to the building and field troughs.
