This freehold parcel offers 5.88 acres (2.38 ha) of productive grassland on the edge of Sherburn in Elmet, with road frontage and straightforward access from Sir Johns Lane. The plot is well suited to grazing, hay production or small-scale equestrian use and sits with an open, elevated aspect toward the historic parish church.
Buyers should note the land is a Scheduled Ancient Monument (Hall Garth). That designation is historically important but restricts development and likely prevents non‑agricultural building without complex consents. The site is also sold subject to an overage agreement: if non‑agricultural/equestrian planning consent is granted within 40 years, 50% of the uplift in value becomes payable to a previous owner.
There are currently no mains services connected; purchasers must make their own enquiries with statutory undertakers if services are required. On the positive side the location benefits from excellent mobile signal, fast broadband availability, very low local crime and proximity to village amenities and good primary and secondary schools.
Offered at £70,000, the holding represents a modest, manageable acreage for someone seeking productive pasture or an equestrian paddock with strong local character. The site will particularly suit buyers who value countryside setting and heritage, and who accept the conservation constraints and overage covenant.
