The Land At Barn Corner, Collingtree, Northampton, Northamptonshire NN4

For sale by auction on Wednesday, 02 Jul 2025 at 11:00

Venue: Livestream

A substantial parcel of level paddock land extending to approximately 1.3 acres and located on the far western outskirts of the popular south Northampton village of Collingtree.

The land has a vehicular access from Barn Corner standing at the rear of a row of residential dwellings and adjacent to amenity grass land.

Planning history
The land has been in the same family ownership since 1977 and in 2013 plans were repaired showing the division of the site to allow for the construction of four detached, four bedroomed dwellings which became the subject of a planning application submitted in September 2013, Application Reference N/2013/0977. This application was withdrawn after discussions with the Highways Authority.

Registered title
The land is registered under Title Number NN40855 and has the benefit of a right of way over the access strip recorded in the filed copies of the Title Documents. The vendor does not own the area of land between the highway and the gate way to the access strip and the ownership of this area of land is not known.

Use of the land/statutory declaration
During the period of the ownership of the vendor local farmers have been allowed to use the land from time to time for the grazing of sheep, cattle and on occasion horses. The grazing of cattle was for a period of three to fours years and the grazing of sheep was until much more recently. For all of these grazing uses the point of access was over the access strip and at times the access strip was used as a contained pen where the sheep were brought to be dipped and at other times the access strip would be used for locating a sheering vehicle.

The vendor will provide a Statutory Declaration confirming that throughout the period of her ownership she has enjoyed unrestricted access to the land with or without vehicles.

Public footpath
The land is crossed by a public footpath leading from Barn Corner in an east west direction leading to the adjoining amenity space and then thereafter connecting via Barn Corner to Collingtree Park Golf Club.

The overage payment will be triggered upon disposal of the land with the benefit of planning permission or any implementation of planning permission during the overage period.
