An uncluttered, freehold parcel of arable land extending to approximately 8.00 acres (3.24 ha), located off Offton Road just south east of Lower Somersham and about nine miles from Ipswich. The plot is Grade 3 agricultural land with mature hedging to the north and west and a new plantation of saplings to the east, offering a productive block for continued cropping, grazing or landscape use. The sale includes sporting, standing timber and mineral rights (except statutory reservations).
The land is entered into a Countryside Stewardship Arable Offer (winter bird food AB9) that runs until 31 December 2025; the vendor will retain the 2025 scheme payment. There are no services connected and access is direct from the public highway via a grass track (the vendor will retain ownership of the track; the purchaser will receive a right of way and be partly responsible for its maintenance). Purchasers must also erect post-and-two-rail fencing with rabbit netting on the retained boundary within 12 months of completion.
This is a straightforward acquisition for an investor, farmer or buyer seeking a large, well-located acreage near Ipswich. The land’s soil (Hanslope association) is described as slowly permeable calcareous clayey and fine loamy over clayey soils, suitable for a range of arable uses. Any change of use or development would be subject to local planning, and purchasers should carry out their own due diligence on planning, boundaries and services before exchange.
Practical points to note: there are no buildings or services on site, broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal average, and the sale is intended to proceed quickly by private treaty with vacant possession on completion. Boundaries are shown for identification only and buyers should satisfy themselves on fencing, wayleaves and any outgoings such as drainage rates.
