Situation

The land is situated off the B4215 between Newent and Gloucester, close to the quiet, rural village of Tibberton. The land has excellent commuter links to Gloucester, Newent, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury.

Land at Barbers Bridge

Split into predominantly 5 paddocks, the land is extremely versatile and suitable for a variety of uses including agricultural, equine and business use, for anyone wanting to run their own fishery. The land has been run organically for the last 25 years and no fertilisers, pesticides or herbicides have been used on it.
There is direct access of the main road (the B4125) which runs between Gloucester and Newent.
The first 2 paddocks (of about 1.4 acres) offer a large hard-standing yard area with the remainder being pasture. This area is not subject to any potential flooding.
There is another large, level paddock which borders the River Leadon and contains a shelter belt of Poplars, some Oak trees, Willows and a good-sized wildlife pond. This paddock extends around the fishing ponds, culminating in another small paddock containing numerous young trees of Oak, Willow and Ash.
The 2 fishing ponds are situated in their own fenced off paddock. There is one pond of about 1 acre and another a little larger at about 1.25 acres. The depths in one range from about 3ft - 35ft deep, and in the other, 3ft - 8ft deep. Both are stocked with coarse fish, Rudd, Roach, Bream, Tench and Carp, some of which are 20lb +.
The River Leadon frontage runs to just over 500 yards and the land benefits from riparian rights to this.

Flooding

The land can flood a couple of times a year, coinciding with the two highest tides of the year. Any flooding of the land generally only lasts 2-3 days. The access, yard and 2 small paddocks are unaffected by any flooding and the remainder of the land can still be access with a 4x4.

Services

Mains water not available to the land but can be supplied/negotiated. There is an adequate, natural water supply. No electricity or private/mains drainage.
