Environment Agency drainage rates payable; seller keeps historic payments
Not entered in agri‑environment schemes; basic payment claimed previously
This 17.32‑acre block of Grade 3 arable land sits three miles south of Cambridge, just outside Fulbourn. Broad, level and productive, the parcel offers immediate agricultural use, road frontage to Wilbraham Road and vacant possession on completion—an attractive, low‑capital addition to an existing farm or investment portfolio.
The soil is Reach series shallow humose fine loam over chalk, suited to arable cropping or grazing. The holding lies north of Fulbourn Fen SSSI and within the Cambridge Nature Network Priority Area, giving environmental value but also highlighting proximity to sensitive habitats. An outgoing tenant has farmed the land for many years and is interested in continuing to farm under a new arrangement.
Known constraints are straightforward and important: the land is entirely in the Cambridge Green Belt, limiting development potential without planning consent. A high‑pressure gas main crosses under the land and an overhead electricity line and poles run across the north‑east corner. Environment Agency drainage rates are payable, and the seller will retain any historic delinked Basic Payment Scheme payments.
Practical matters are clear: the land is sold freehold with sporting, timber and mineral rights included insofar as owned, and vacant possession will be given. It is not currently in any agri‑environment schemes and is not VAT registered. Buyers should satisfy themselves on boundaries, wayleaves and exact access arrangements prior to exchange.
