An extensive 27.50-acre (11.13 ha) block of grassland on the north‑east edge of Shafton, offered freehold with vacant possession. The land is split into two fields by a dyke and is accessed from Blacker Lane, a publicly adopted highway with an established right of way. Its size and position make it well suited to commercial grazing, agricultural uses or prospective purchasers exploring a rural development opportunity (subject to planning).
Buyers should note several material constraints. The site lies within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone and has a Northern PowerGrid overhead line crossing the fields. There are two public footpaths through the land and the sale is subject to any existing wayleaves, easements and rights of way. The vendor is not aware of on‑site services and purchasers must verify utilities, boundaries and any environmental scheme status.
At a guide price of £220,000 the holding represents a large low‑cost acreage near Barnsley and Wakefield. The location offers fast broadband and reasonable local services in nearby Shafton, with primary and secondary schooling within a short drive. Prospective buyers should undertake site surveys, check planning constraints and factor in potential remediation, access upgrades or utility provision when assessing value.
This parcel will suit farmers and investors seeking scale and long‑term options — whether adding to an existing estate, expanding agricultural operations or applying for change‑of‑use planning where feasible. The combination of substantial area and roadside access provides a clear base for those prepared to manage planning, environmental and servicing considerations.
