A substantial arable holding in south Derbyshire, offered as a whole or in two lots, presents clear operational scale and long-term income potential. Around 212 acres are productive arable land (predominantly Grade 3 soils), complemented by approximately 67 acres of mature woodland and 6 acres of permanent pasture. The parcel includes large, regular-shaped fields suited to modern machinery and several particularly efficient field blocks that can reduce running costs when consolidated into a farming rotation.
Lot 2 is a compact c. 92-acre block with yard hardstanding, a steel portal building and smaller store; these premises are currently occupied under a licence. There is a mains water connection to the Lot 2 yard. The land has been farmed to a high standard and much of it has recently been entered into Sustainable Farming Incentive schemes, which may continue to offer environmental payments and add value for incoming operators.
Practical considerations are straightforward: access is available from Watery Lane, Station Road and adjoining lanes, and the A50 dual carriageway lies nearby for regional distribution. Flood risk is very low. At the same time, buyers should note limited services across the holding (only mains water to Lot 2 confirmed), a public footpath crossing Lot 2, and existing licence arrangements over the yard buildings. The adjoining equestrian holding and farmhouse may be available only by separate negotiation, so a buyer seeking an immediate farmstead should verify availability.
Overall this is a strong opportunity for a farmer or investor seeking scale, productive soils and woodland amenity in an established agricultural area. There is scope for operational efficiencies with further investment and the woodland/pasture mix offers sporting and environmental diversification alongside arable income.
