Lot 8 – 14.38 acres/5.82 ha of land at Overthwaite, Holme - £110,000 (an average of £7,649 per acre)
As can be seen from the above figures, there was spirited bidding for all lots, the sale achieving some very high averages per acre, reflecting the strong demand for all classes of agricultural land and this seems to apply in all areas.
M.B. Hodgson & Son and their professional staff have many years of experience in sales of all types of agricultural and country properties and should be the first port of call for anyone with such properties to sell.
