Approximately 7.85 acres (3.18 ha) of level permanent pasture
This offering comprises two adjoining parcels of level permanent pasture extending to approximately 7.85 acres (3.18 ha), presented as a freehold sale by Informal Tender. The land is bounded by mature hedgerows and natural watercourses, benefits from natural watering, and is suited to grazing, conservation, or amenity uses subject to statutory consents.
Practical considerations for buyers: the land is currently let on a Farm Business Tenancy at a passing rent of £490 per annum and drainage rates (£2–£4 per acre) are payable by the tenant. Access is via a right of way across third-party land and Wedmore Moor Drove (a public footpath AX/27/53) which, due to width, is only passable on foot. Overhead powerlines traverse the site.
Development potential exists but is constrained. The sale is subject to a 33.33% development clawback on any change of use (other than agriculture or equestrian) for 30 years, and the site lies within an SSSI Impact Risk Zone — both factors that may affect planning outcomes. The vendor requires tenders by 28 July 2025 (no obligation to accept the highest tender) and the buyer will contribute £1,000 plus VAT towards the seller’s costs on completion.
This lot will suit a buyer seeking an affordable, sizeable block of Somerset pasture for agricultural use, small-scale conservation projects, or long-term landbanking. Prospective purchasers should be comfortable with the existing tenancy, limited vehicular access, and planning constraints. Viewings are at your own risk; register interest early in case the land is sold prior to the tender deadline.
