Approx. 53.68 acres (21.72 ha) productive Grade 2 arable and pasture
Hillhampton Farm is an extensive freehold agricultural holding of about 53.68 acres (21.72 ha) arranged predominantly as productive Grade 2 arable and pasture, with approximately 10 acres of woodland and rough grazing. The soils are a light loam suited to arable and horticultural crops; a large irrigation lake at the centre supports reliable water supply for cropping. The land is currently in rye grass and benefits from a private surfaced driveway, mature sheltering trees and no public rights of way crossing the holding.
The farmyard contains approximately 12,125 sq ft of steel-framed buildings: two general-purpose units flanking a corrugated Dutch barn, plus a former seasonal workers’ accommodation block with drainage, wash facilities and a break room. The buildings are used for storage but have scope for alternative commercial or agricultural uses subject to planning. Around ten static caravans on hardstanding have been in situ for over 20 years and generate around £25,000 per annum, although prospective buyers should check the long-term status and any licence/consent requirements.
This property will be offered as a whole or potentially in lots; sale is by informal tender (best and final offers to be received by 12 noon on 18 January 2024). Strengths include excellent mobile signal, very low local crime, an affluent surrounding area and close access to village schools rated Good. Note practical constraints: very slow broadband across the site, and any change of use of buildings or formalisation of worker accommodation may require planning and consents.
Hillhampton is well suited to an active farmer, equestrian operator, estate developer or investor seeking agricultural land with development potential. Buyers should carry out their own due diligence on planning scope, existing caravan permissions, and utility provision prior to bidding.
