Grade 4 loamy clay soil — better for pasture than intensive crops

Very slow broadband and average mobile signal — limited connectivity
This substantial block of productive grassland extends to approximately 10.26 hectares (25.36 acres) and offers clear potential for grazing, silage production or equestrian use. The parcel has been recently fully fenced and benefits from a mains water supply, making it immediately usable for agricultural purposes. Vehicular access is established via a third‑party track, and a formal right of access is included in the sale.
The land is classified as Grade 4 with loamy clay soils, which suits mowing and grazing rather than intensive crop production. There are no buildings on the site, minimal immediate maintenance requirements beyond routine fence and gate upkeep, and no flood risk. A public right of way runs to the west of the property and the location is rural and quiet, less than a mile from Hedley on the Hill and within easy reach of nearby villages.
Material considerations: a third party benefits from a clawback tied to non‑agricultural planning permission (50% of any uplift until 2045), which will materially affect any development value. Access is over a third‑party owned track (full right of access is provided) and the purchaser must install a water meter to separate the mains supply. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average, so this is not a suitable site if high connectivity is required.
This land suits buyers seeking productive pasture close to Hedley on the Hill — smallholders, equestrian users or investors in countryside acreage. It is offered freehold with vacant possession and could be registered for new agricultural support schemes subject to Rural Payments Agency rules.
