This lot offers approximately 55.85 acres of Grade 2 permanent pasture with a small woodland block and riverside frontage just east of Oundle. The Sutton 1 series soils are described as well drained loams suitable for cereals, potatoes and some field vegetables, making the holding immediately useful for conventional arable or mixed farming.
The land is entered into a Mid‑Tier Countryside Stewardship scheme (runs to 31 Dec 2027) and a Sustainable Farming Incentive (not transferable). There are no mains services on site; sporting, timber and mineral rights are included only insofar as owned. Access is direct from the A605 and via internal farm gates plus a shared bridleway right of way.
Prospective purchasers should note material constraints: the farm lies within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone, has a medium flood risk in places, and broadband speeds are slow. The sale is subject to a 25% overage on any future non‑agricultural development for 25 years, payable on implementation of qualifying planning consent. Purchasers will also be liable for ingoing valuation costs for crops and consumables at completion.
This holding suits a working farmer seeking good arable soils and immediate agricultural use, or an investor seeking long‑term opportunity with development potential (subject to planning and the overage). Public footpaths cross parts of the land; buyers must satisfy themselves on planning, environmental designations and scheme obligations before exchange.
