Barns Heath Farm is a substantial, ring‑fenced agricultural holding combining 201.27 acres of arable land with 29.85 acres of woodland and 3.32 acres of wetlands, ponds and streams. The land is generally level, Grade 2 (very good) agricultural land with Hodnet-series loamy soils suitable for cereals, potatoes and sugar beet. Vehicular access is available via a well‑maintained stoned track from Snarestone Road and internal tracks serve the various parcels.
This sale is offered as a whole by private treaty and includes sporting and timber rights insofar as they are owned. The River Mease Site of Special Scientific Interest runs through the holding and parts of the land lie within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone; the woodland is subject to a Woodland Management Agreement. Maize is growing on specific parcels, and holdover will be required to permit harvesting of those crops.
Practical considerations include no known mains services to the land, very slow broadband, a public footpath across the property and a permissive footpath through some wetland and woodland. Mineral rights are excluded and a third party retains access to a wind turbine not included in the sale. The sale is subject to a 25‑year overage on future non‑agricultural development, payable as 25% of any value uplift from planning consent.
Barns Heath will suit a commercial farming business, investor or purchaser seeking a large, versatile block with immediate cropping potential. Prospective buyers should note the environmental designations, agricultural scheme commitments, ingoing crop and cultivation costs, and the rights and easements that affect certain parcels.
