We are delighted to be able to bring to the market this incredibly versatile parcel of pasture land and copse, located on the outskirts of the Longleat Estate.

The land is gently sloping and undulating in aspect and is held primarily in a single parcel with a smaller paddock in the eastern corner, sheltered by a combination of hedges and copse. The land is enclosed by mature hedges. There is a good gated access point from Cole Hill, to the south of the land.

Subject to gaining the necessary consents, the land would be ideally suited to an agricultural, equestrian or conservation use.  In total the land extends to approximately 18.05 acres.

Rights of Way

There is a single footpath that crosses the land as shown by the broken line on the site plan opposite.

Designations

The land does not fall within any designations. However, the auction legal pack will provide confirmation and should be reviewed prior to bidding.

Completion

Completion has been set for Thursday 21st May 2026 or earlier by arrangement.

Registering to bid and Administration fee

Cooper and Tanner require all bidders who wish to bid at our Auction to register beforehand, whether you are intending on bidding in the room, by proxy or online. As part of the registration process, you will be asked to provide card details in order that the Buyer’s Administration Fee of £1395 inc VAT can be paid if you are successful. A week before the auction a hold will be placed on your account for this sum, which will then be released if you are unsuccessful. This fee will only be taken if you are the successful buyer. The fee is retained by Cooper and Tanner and does not form part of your deposit or completion settlement. Please also be aware that the Buyer’s Administration fee is payable per lot purchased. If you are successful in purchasing more than one lot, we will contact you following the auction to take subsequent payments for additional lots bought. All checks required by current anti-money laundering legislation must be satisfactorily completed, as part of the registration process before prior approval to bid will be granted; this will include providing proof of funds.

Deposit

Successful bidders will be required to pay to the Cooper and Tanner Client Account the deposit of 10% of the purchase price within 24 hours of the auction. The account details will be provided to the successful bidder on conclusion of the auction. Once funds are cleared, they will be transferred on to the account of the solicitor acting for the seller. Please ensure that funds are in an account suitable to be able to make an Electronic Transfer from.

Fees

Potential buyers should be aware that there may be additional fees payable to the Vendor’s solicitor on completion of the sale, details of which will be contained within the auction pack for each lot. At the launch of the property onto the market this information is not always available and so interested parties must refer to the auction pack and satisfy their enquiries.
