Description
Situation
The land lies on the East bank of the River Trent, opposite the traditional Lincolnshire market town of Gainsborough. Despite its proximity to Gainsborough, the land lies in the Parish of Beckingham, North Nottinghamshire. Gainsborough itself offers a wide range of facilities and amenities, having undergone substantial redevelopment works in the town centre and surrounding residential areas of the past several years. Access further afield to the Cities of Doncaster and Lincoln is also convenient.
Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a historic, and scenic site registered as a scheduled monument, in open countryside, offering a wide range of potential opportunities to the purchaser. The site historically provided wharfage to the River Trent, and was associated with the town of Gainsborough, having historically had a large house, and mill on the site, the footings and remnants of which are still viable on site, along with historic moat. The site totals approximately 2.78 acres in size (1.12 hectares), and is set with mature trees, including fruit. An ideal site for those with outdoor and country pursuit interests, or those seeking solitude and relaxation.
Access Access is via a right of way from the A631 road through a locked gate, of which the owner is a key holder. Access is also available on foot along the riverside path running from the Trent Bridge alongside the Trent Port Inn.

By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
