Large accessible farmland with strong crop potential and long‑term stewardship commitments.
About 95.82 acres (38.78 hectares) of ring‑fenced arable land
Lot 2 at Great Gonerby is a substantial, ring‑fenced arable block extending to about 95.82 acres (38.78 ha). Positioned north of Great Gonerby and close to the A1, the land benefits from good transport links, long views and established mature hedgerow boundaries. The soils are described as Grade 2/3 loamy soils suitable for spring and autumn-sown crops, historically including sugar beet.
The block is split into five fields and offers two vehicular accesses: a stone track off Belton Lane and a roadway via a railway bridge from the A607/High Road. Mains water and three‑phase electricity are connected to the grain store; purchasers must verify service availability for other points. An existing public footpath crosses the site and 11kV overhead lines run through the land.
Practical constraints include the property’s location inside a Surface Water Nitrate Vulnerable Zone, and current entry in a Countryside Stewardship Mid‑Tier agreement (until 31 Dec 2025) and a Sustainable Farming Incentive agreement (until April 2027). The sale is freehold, with holdover for growing crops anticipated and ingoing crop valuation possible depending on completion timing.
Any prospective purchaser should note a 25% development overage payable on uplift from non‑agricultural planning consent for 25 years from completion. Broadband speeds are reported very slow despite excellent mobile signal. These factors will influence farming, investment and any longer‑term change‑of‑use plans.
