Lot 2 at Betley Court Farm is a productive, well-situated block of farmland of 14.66 acres (5.93 ha) laid mainly to grass. Two fields are joined by a hardcore access track; a stream runs through a small copse into a stocked lake, creating attractive habitat and useful watering for stock. The land has previously been in arable rotation and is suitable for crops, grazing, equestrian or amenity use.
Practical on-site features include road frontage, a borehole (the sellers reserve a right to this), and a nearby septic tank serving an adjacent property. A public footpath runs along part of the eastern boundary. The village location offers very low crime, good mobile signal and local primary and secondary schools rated Good by Ofsted.
Buyers should note material restrictions: the land sits within a conservation area and is sold subject to a development clawback. If planning permission is granted for a change from agricultural/equestrian use within 30 years, the sellers (or heirs) are entitled to 35% of the uplift in value. The sellers will also reserve the borehole right, and part of the site is used informally by a local football team under mutual agreement.
This lot suits buyers seeking productive countryside acreage for farming, grazing or private equestrian use, and investors who understand the conservation designation and clawback terms. It is not suitable for immediate unrestricted development; anyone seeking residential or commercial conversion should factor the conservation status and the significant clawback into their appraisal.
