A rare block of about 11.87 acres of Grade 3 grassland on Doncaster Road, offered freehold and currently let under a pre-1984 Agricultural Holdings Act tenancy (passing rent £1,000pa). The parcel has direct road frontage, long uninterrupted countryside views and is suitable for mowing, grazing or cereal growing. Overhead electricity lines cross the land; mineral rights are excluded from the sale.
The site is well connected by main roads to Pontefract, Wakefield and Doncaster, with regular local buses and nearby train stations. Soil is described as slowly permeable, seasonally wet loamy and clayey soils, so it performs well for grass and grazing but may restrict some intensive arable operations in wet seasons. Broadband speeds are very slow; mobile signal is excellent.
Sold subject to existing tenancy, public rights and wayleaves, and a 15% development overage for 50 years. The property is chain free and offered by informal tender; interested parties should review the tenancy and overage details and confirm boundaries before tendering. This lot will suit retiring farmers seeking grazing or mowing land, investors in agricultural land, or buyers with longer-term development aspirations who accept the overage and exclusions.
Important negatives: the agricultural tenancy remains in place, mineral rights are excluded, overhead electricity crosses the land, and soil drainage can be seasonally wet. These are factual constraints that affect immediate use and future planning.
