A substantial block of productive arable land extending to 27.60 acres (11.17 ha), offered as a whole and currently managed in an arable rotation. The land is Grade 3 and sits on predominantly Ragdale series soils (slowly permeable, seasonally wet loam and clay) with lime-rich Hanslope soils in the north—capable of supporting a wide range of arable crops or grass. Boundaries are formed by mature hedgerows and the parcel has attractive open views over surrounding farmland.
Access is from a single point on Pasture Lane along the southern boundary. The holding is split into two field enclosures and has no recorded flood risk, making it straightforward to work with modern machinery when conditions allow. Its location—north of Ashby Folville, about 5 miles from Melton Mowbray and 12 miles from Leicester—suits an owner-operator, investor or farm expansion buyer seeking immediate productive land in an established agricultural area.
Known practical limitations are factual and important: soils include seasonally wet, slowly permeable clay loams which can restrict cultivation windows and may require drainage investment in wetter years. Tenure and any rights or easements are not stated here and should be confirmed. Broadband speeds are reported very slow and there is a single access point, which may affect non-agricultural uses or site servicing. The lot is offered by private treaty as a whole; any development prospects would require local planning enquiry and are not guaranteed.
Overall this is a clear, sizeable arable block with proven cropping capability and classic Leicestershire countryside appeal. It will suit farmers wanting immediate productive acreage or investors seeking a low-maintenance agricultural asset, provided they factor in seasonal soil behaviour and confirm legal/tenure details before purchase.
