Lot 5 at Vinesse Farm offers 15.1 acres of Grade 3 arable and grassland in a private rural setting with good road access to Colchester and the A12. The holding forms part of a larger residential farm and benefits from existing countryside stewardship payments and SFI agreements that currently support annual arable income.
This parcel is well suited to an investor, farmer or equestrian user seeking productive fields with immediate access and clear development or cropping potential. The land lies in a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone and has Hornbeam 3 soil series, making it suitable for mixed arable and grass use; there are no public footpaths crossing the lot and vehicular access is off the B1058 and a side road.
Important practical points are that the Countryside Stewardship Scheme runs until 31.12.2028 (current value c. £21,923pa) and the two SFI agreements may not be transferable; the vendors will try to facilitate transfer where possible. A local contracting arrangement currently affects part of the wider farm until a three-year break after harvest 2026, so buyers should confirm cropping and possession timing before completing.
Service and infrastructure notes: the wider farm benefits from fibre broadband and borehole water; mineral, sporting and timber rights are included insofar as owned. The farm is offered in lots or as a whole by private treaty — Lot 5 is available freehold with vacant possession subject to the farming arrangements noted.
