172.57 acres (69.84 ha) ring‑fenced arable block
An extensive ring‑fenced block of productive arable land extending to 172.57 acres (69.84 ha) at Winterbourne Bassett. The holding lies in a predominantly flat to gently undulating landscape with good field geometry, clear boundaries and direct road frontage to High Street and the A4361, providing multiple access points. Soils are a mix of Grade 2 and 3 loamy, lime‑rich and freely draining types over chalk or limestone, currently in arable rotation and sown to wheat and barley for the forthcoming season.
This lot will suit farming businesses seeking additional tillage acreage or investors looking for a large, income‑producing agricultural asset in an affluent rural area. The land benefits from inclusion of sporting, mineral and timber rights where available and is offered freehold with vacant possession. It sits within the North Wessex Downs National Landscape and a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone, factors that will influence future management and any environmental scheme participation.
Practical considerations: there are no services to the land, viewings are at purchasers' risk, and the vendor reserves rights for holdover or ingoing valuation depending on completion timing. Early entry may be permitted at the buyer’s risk. Any future change of use or development would be subject to planning and the constraints of national landscape designation and NVZ status.
In short, this is a substantial, well‑located arable block offering immediate cropping potential and strategic scale for consolidation into a wider holding. Buyers should factor in designation constraints, absence of services and the need for planning consent for non‑agricultural uses.
