Picturesque lake with its own island near Samboune village goes to auction next week
A picturesque lake complete with its own island is up for auction next week.
The unique 9.82 acre site near Samboune village is being sold though Henley estate agent Earles and will go to public auction at 6pm on 18th June with a guide price of £250,000 at The View, Hill Farm Marina, Stratford Road, Wootton Wawen.
Describing it, an Earles estate agent said: “This unique parcel of land gives a prospective new owner the opportunity of acquiring just under three acres of lake with an island set in the middle.
“The lake is fed by five springs in the bed of the lake with the overflow carrying on under the road and towards the nearby village of Coughton.
“In the past, the water was well stocked for fishing and it has also been used as a flight pond for ducks in the late autumn.
“Much of the surrounding land is well managed pasture and even in dryer summers, it grows good grass. There is a good, gated access from the deep pull-in bay that lies to the west of Wike Lane.”
The site is situated to the eastern edge of the village of Sambourne, on the same lane that runs to Coughton, which is well known for the grand Tudor country residence, Coughton Court, that has been the seat of the Throckmorton family for over 600 years.
