This is a substantial, productive block of Grade 3 arable land extending to approximately 79.52 acres (32.18 ha), presented as a single lot. The soil (Beccles 1 series) is suited to cereal rotations and the holding has been well managed under a traditional contract farming arrangement, making it immediately workable for continuing arable production or farming investment.
Practical features include agricultural access off The Street, Mickfield, and the sale is offered freehold with vacant possession once 2025 crops are harvested. Minerals, timber and sporting rights are included. The land is registered with the Rural Payments Agency and is eligible for future rural payment and environmental scheme applications, offering potential subsidy or stewardship income going forward.
Key commercial considerations are clear: Basic Payment Scheme income has been retained by the previous occupier and will not transfer, and part of the holding is subject to a 50% overage clause on uplift in value for 25 years if commercial or residential development is later permitted. Prospective buyers should also note the property is conveyed subject to existing rights of way, easements and wayleaves.
This parcel suits farming businesses seeking immediate productive acreage, investors targeting long-term land appreciation or applicants for environmental schemes. Viewing is by appointment and possession timing is linked to the 2025 harvest, so purchasers should plan cropping and cashflow accordingly.
