Substantial arable parcel near Didcot — investment or operational farming opportunity..
20.24 acres (8.19 ha) arable land, previously winter wheat cropped
A 20.24-acre arable parcel in Upton, Didcot, offered freehold with vacant possession on completion. The land has been cropped with winter wheat and sits immediately west of the A34 with straightforward roadside access. It lies three miles from Didcot and 17 miles from Oxford, making it convenient for agricultural operators or investors seeking a sizeable holding close to regional transport links.
The property falls within the North Wessex Downs AONB, a Drinking Water Safeguard Zone (surface water) and a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone. These environmental designations afford landscape protection but will limit certain development options and farming inputs; buyers should check constraints and consent requirements with the local planning authority.
The sale includes sporting, timber and mineral rights insofar as owned. Lots 3, 5 and 6 invite offers with or without overage proposals; Lot 6 is offered with an overage option. There are existing rights of way and the land is currently tenanted — vacant possession available on completion. No services are connected and Lots 5 and 6 are unfenced, so purchasers should allow for fencing and service connections where required.
This lot will suit commercial growers, estates consolidating holdings, or investors seeking long-term land appreciation. Immediate use for cropping is possible, but anyone considering change of use or development should factor in AONB status, environmental zones, potential overage terms and medium flood risk when assessing value and planning requirements.
