Land Insight
Ensum Brown are pleased to offer for sale this exceptional and rarely available piece of land, measuring approximately 6.45 acres and located just a few minutes from Ely city centre. Enjoying a peaceful countryside setting, the land is currently used for amenity purposes and offers fantastic potential for wildlife and leisure use, subject to the necessary consents.
The site is home to a large wildlife lake, a smaller private fishing lake (which could benefit from some improvement), and a separate pond, stocked with mirror, common and ghost carp and enclosed by an electric fence. The land attracts a wide variety of wildlife year-round and would suit anyone with a love of the outdoors.
There are several structures already in place, including a 12x12 stable and storage units with power and lighting. The site is connected to three-phase electricity and has a metered water supply, which is shared with the neighbouring property. Mains water is also available from the road. A secure gated entrance provides access to the land.
Please note, there are covenants on the land which restrict certain uses. Residential buildings and commercial activities that may disturb the neighbouring fishing business are not permitted. Noisy machinery, such as speedboats, is also prohibited. The land can be used for private fishing or nature-based leisure activities, and sheds or field shelters are allowed, though any other development would require the lifting of the covenants by the adjacent landowner.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful piece of land in a highly accessible location, offering peace, privacy and a chance to enjoy the natural surroundings. Viewing is strongly advised to fully appreciate what’s on offer
