A rare 18.71-hectare (46.22-acre) block of permanent pasture bordering Hemingford Grey and close to St Ives, offered as a single freehold holding. The land is Grade 3, part of the Sutton 1 Soil Classification Series and has historically been used for grazing and short-term grass/cereal production. Direct road access off Hemingford Road and some historic field drainage make it ready for continued agricultural use or equestrian purposes.
The parcel has been submitted to the Huntingdonshire District Council Call for Sites process, presenting potential uplift if planning interest arises. Buyers should note an overage clause: the seller is entitled to 30% of any uplift in value for 30 years if planning consent is obtained for non-agricultural uses, including mineral extraction. There are no public rights of way across the land, and mains water is connected (purchaser to install sub‑meter on completion).
Practical considerations are clear: the land lies within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone (NVZ), is crossed by overhead powerlines and adjoins a power network substation and a water pumping station. It is sold subject to a Grazing Licence that expires 31 December 2025, Environment Agency drainage charges and the usual rights, easements and statutory designations. This holding suits farmers, equestrian users or investors looking for a strategic countryside parcel adjoining settlement edge with potential longer-term development interest (subject to planning and overage).
