This is a 7.05-hectare (17.43-acre) parcel of arable agricultural land offered freehold with vacant possession and sold at public auction. The holding comprises a mix of Grade 2 and Grade 3 soils (Peacock Association: deep humose calcareous clayey and fine loamy over clayey soils, with some peat), suitable for arable cropping, grass leys or continued agricultural use. All sporting, timber and mineral rights owned by the vendor are included in the sale.
Practical points for buyers: the land lies at approximately sea level and is accessed from Gravel Drove via a byway (269/8) alongside the catchwater. Drainage rates are payable to the Littleport & Downham Internal Drainage Board. The sale is subject to all existing wayleaves, easements, covenants and rights of way and the vendor will not be bound to determine ownership of boundary hedges, fences or ditches — purchasers should satisfy themselves on these matters prior to bidding.
Notable constraints: the site has a medium flood risk and contains areas of peat soil, which can affect cropping choices and drainage requirements. There are currently no environmental stewardship schemes attached to the land. The property will be offered at public auction (Guide £70,000+; auction date provided), so prospective buyers should factor auction reserve, legal pack review and physical inspection into their timetable.
This lot will suit arable farmers, investors seeking landholding expansion, or buyers looking for an agricultural asset in a low-crime, rural setting close to local villages and established schools. Inspect on site at reasonable times and review the auction legal pack for detailed rights and outgoings before bidding.
