Productive 23.8‑acre Grade 2 block with hedgerows and BNG potential, vacant Sept 2025.
Grade 2 arable land, c.23.84 acres (9.65 ha)
An attractive block of Grade 2 arable land extending to approximately 23.84 acres (9.65 ha) in the village of Foxearth. The Hanslope association soils are permeable clay, well suited to cereal and other arable crops. The holding has been left largely fallow in recent years, is bordered by mature hedgerows and supports abundant wildflowers, making it well placed for environmental management or Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) initiatives.
Practical access is available directly off Mill Road with open gateways to each field. The land is registered with the Rural Payments Agency; there are currently no active agri‑environment schemes, though the site was previously used to activate entitlements. The property is let on a Farm Business Tenancy with vacant possession available from 28 September 2025.
Important commercial points: the sale is freehold, VAT is not payable, and an overage clause reserves 25% of any uplift in value from residential development for 25 years. There is no recorded flood risk and the local area is generally affluent with low crime—factors that support both farming and environmental-led land uses.
This parcel will suit an arable farmer seeking productive Grade 2 soils, a buyer interested in environmental stewardship or BNG projects, or an investor exploring longer-term development potential (subject to planning). Note the land has been largely set-aside/fallow and will need re-establishing for immediate productive cropping; any development potential will be affected by the stated overage and planning constraints.
