A disused lake in a former quarry has been placed on the market, and could mean an expansion for the neighbouring watersports and activity centre. The Cemex property, off Pasture Lane, Long Eaton, has previously been a hotspot for anti-social behaviour with people breaking in to swim, blocking the road and causing disruption.
The 67-acre site is on the market by building materials firm Cemex for £350,000, reports Derbyshire Live. The Fisher German listing states: "The property extends to about 66.78 acres comprising a versatile and attractive lake, mixed deciduous woodland with glades and grassland in a ring fence. The property was previously utilised for mineral extraction and has been restored to provide a peaceful and nature-rich habitat well served by internal paths.
“For your own personal safety, we ask you to take great care and be as vigilant as possible when undertaking an inspection of the property.” The advert details that there are two access points off Pasture Lane and it is “easily accessible from both Derby and Nottingham” and “conveniently located close to Long Eaton and the M1 ”.
