Summary - WATERWHEEL HOUSE, NEWARK, CLAYPOLE NG23 5AH
1 bed 1 bath Land
Versatile rural land with established biodiversity and woodland potential.
Approximately 6.78 acres across four separate parcels
A rare block of four amenity parcels totalling approximately 6.78 acres on the edge of Claypole, offered freehold and split for sale by private treaty. The land lies flat, bordered by mature hedgerows, divided by new fencing and has good roadside access with individual entry points to each lot. Lots 1 and 4 are currently managed as flower-rich pasture with a Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) agreement in place generating over £6,000pa; the SFI will need to be re-applied for on transfer but similar payments are achievable.
Lots 2 and 3 have Forestry Commission approval for native tree and shrub planting, with the Woodland Carbon Code application approved and independently validated; planting works are scheduled for Spring 2025 and an estimated c.4,000 carbon units may be available by separate negotiation. A Biodiversity Net Gain survey (Feb 2024) shows the site can generate hedgerow and habitat units, supporting biodiversity enhancement and alternative income opportunities.
Practical considerations are straightforward: no known services are connected to the land, broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average. The land is Grade 3 agricultural classification and historically arable; any development requiring planning permission is not permitted—use is restricted to agricultural, amenity or biodiversity enhancement purposes only. This makes the parcels well suited to buyers seeking countryside investment, ecological projects, equestrian use or low‑intensity recreational use.
