Description
The Land at Minety is an excellent parcel of well-managed, fertile pasture extending to about 48.37 acres (19.59 ha). The land is level and is divided into a series of useful sized paddocks, ideal for grazing livestock or horses as well as mowing for hay and silage. The soil is a clay loam, capable of generating heavy crops of fodder and arable. There is high quality stockproof timber post and rail and barbed wired fencing in all fields.
There are a series of freshwater ponds on the land which have created an ideal habitat for vertebrates and invertebrates and attract a wide & diverse range of flora and fauna. The wide, species-rich, hedgerows are excellent wildlife corridors and the whole property has a strong conservation interest. There are a series of small spinneys containing native British hardwood trees including Oak and Ash. The meadows contain a number of indigenous species including naturally occurring Ladys Smock, Red Clover and White Clover.
Access & Use
There is easy access of the highway, and the fields are well suited for large modern agricultural machinery and equipment.
In recent years, the land has been used for grazing with cattle and horses with a public bridleway immediately adjacent creating good outriding directly from the property.
Situation
Minety is a popular village on the B4040 close to the Wiltshire/Gloucestershire borders, situated between the market towns of Malmesbury (7 miles) and Cricklade (5 miles) offering a number of local amenities. The larger conurbation of Swindon (5 miles) offers a comprehensive range of shopping, recreational and business services including a mainline railway link to London (London Paddington 52 minutes).
There is easy access to the A419 which connects the M4 and M5 motorway networks. The area benefits from an extensive network of public footpaths and bridleways.
