This is a substantial agricultural holding of about 44.33 acres (Lot 1) within a larger c.61.26-acre opportunity, offered freehold with direct B3081 road access. The land is productive Grade 3 (Kimmeridge Clay and Gault), suited to grazing or arable cropping, and lies on gently undulating ground with attractive valley views and mature hedgerows. A useful 4-bay concrete-frame farm building with stone floor and adjoining yard provide immediate functional storage and operational space.
Practical advantages include a metered mains water connection, excellent mobile signal and straightforward access. The land is outside National Landscape and Nitrate Vulnerable Zone designations, with no public rights of way crossing the parcels. Vacant possession will be available on 30 March 2026 on cessation of the current tenancy — purchasers should plan for that timing.
Notable constraints: broadband speeds are very slow across the site and the water meter sits in Lot 2, so an easement will be reserved for Lot 1 if sold separately. There is tenant occupation until the March 2026 date, and any viewing must respect crops and livestock. No overage is imposed by the sellers, and the holding sits in an affluent, low-crime rural area with strong local schools nearby.
For someone expanding an existing farm, investing in productive grass/arable land, or exploring diversification (subject to planning), this parcel delivers scale, soil quality and immediate utility buildings. Buyers should carry out their own due diligence on soils, drainage, and any desired planning options prior to purchase.
