An attractive freehold arable block of 61.98 acres (60.35 acres Grade 2) on Hanslope Association soils, offered as a single lot by private treaty. The land has been farmed "in hand" under a Contract Farming Agreement; the current contractor has indicated a willingness to continue on agreed terms, providing immediate operational continuity for a purchaser. Most fields benefit from traditional land drainage and have a proven arable rotation (wheat, barley, oilseed, pulses and cover crops).
The holding is split into western and eastern parcels by a track in third-party ownership; public rights of way cross the land and the historic bridleway route across the eastern block has been formally diverted to run along the field edge. Surrounding parcels have been referenced as under consideration for a solar scheme, and buyers should note existing and potential neighbouring uses.
Material legal points: the vendor retains a development overage arrangement (30% uplift for non-agricultural/equine planning permissions for 30 years) and the western parcels are already subject to an existing overage. The land currently participates in a Sustainable Farming Incentive (1 May 2024 to 30 April 2027); no BPS delinked payments are included in the sale.
Practical details: freehold title includes sporting, mineral and timber rights as owned by the vendor. Mobile signal is excellent but broadband speeds are slow. Viewings are by appointment only; purchasers will be required to comply with anti-money laundering checks once an offer is accepted.
