Summary - Land at Good Easter, CM1 CM1 4RU
1 bed 1 bath Land
316 acres of productive arable land near Chelmsford, sold as one freehold lot..
316 acres of Grade 2 arable land, productive Stretham clay soils
A rare 316-acre block of Grade 2 arable land surrounding the village of Good Easter, offered as a single freehold lot. Predominantly Stretham series calcareous clay, the soils are proven for high-yield cereals and root crops and have been cropped in a typical rotation of wheat, barley, beans and sugar beet.
The holding is largely flat and open, bisected into three blocks by council roads and benefiting from excellent access roughly 7 miles northwest of Chelmsford and 14 miles from Stansted Airport. Existing environmental agreements (Countryside Stewardship Mid-Tier and Sustainable Farming Incentive) run until late 2026/early 2027, providing current scheme income but requiring the purchaser to honour terms until expiry.
This sale suits established farmers seeking additional productive acreage or investors considering future change of use, subject to planning. Material considerations: the land is sold freehold but comes with a contract farming agreement in place until 29 September 2025, an overage on 3.16 acres with a 30% net uplift share for 30 years, and all rights of way, easements and boundary verification remain the buyer's responsibility. VAT may be payable on the sale if it becomes a chargeable supply.
Early entry for cultivation may be permitted after exchange, subject to agreement. Prospective purchasers should review the existing agreements, overage terms and site boundaries and factor the stewardship commitments and contract farming timetable into any offer or operational plan.
