A substantial, well-configured arable holding of about 325 acres located north of Scropton, offered freehold as a whole or in two lots. The holding includes around 212 acres of productive arable land, extensive mature woodland with timber rights, and pockets of permanent pasture. Large, regular-shaped fields suit modern machinery and offer operational efficiencies for a commercial farming enterprise.
Soils are predominantly river terrace sand and gravels (sand to sandy loams), with much of the land classified as Grade 3. Several fields have recently participated in Sustainable Farming Incentive schemes and the block has been farmed in-hand to a high standard, supporting immediate cropping or rental to an operator. The site benefits from good road links, with the A50 nearby for regional transport.
Practical considerations are clear: the farmhouse and adjoining equestrian centre (Sweet Holme Farm) are not included in the primary sale but may be available separately by agreement; purchasers needing a farmstead should confirm availability. Local services are village-scale; broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average. Flood risk is very low and the tenure is freehold.
This holding will suit a working farmer seeking scale and efficiency, or an investor seeking long-term agricultural income and woodland value. The option to buy as two lots offers flexibility for buyers preferring a smaller entry or phased acquisition.
