About 9.30 acres of well-drained Grade 3 pasture in Acton Bridge, with a large steel portal-framed agricultural barn and gated access from Wetton Lane. The land has been used for arable cropping, grazing and hay/silage production and suits farming, equestrian or amenity buyers seeking quiet, rural land close to road links.
The steel barn offers high ceilings and a large open area suitable for machinery storage, stabling or conversion to other agricultural uses, subject to planning. The plot benefits from stock-proof fencing and a clear farm-track entrance; mobile signal is excellent though broadband speeds are slow.
Important points to note: the land is sold freehold but subject to a Farm Business Tenancy expiring 24 March 2026 (early surrender may be possible by agreement). The current winter wheat crop will be taken by the tenant in summer 2025. Water is currently connected via Nook House but will be disconnected if Lot 5 is purchased separately. There are existing wayleaves, public rights of way and tree preservation orders across the wider lots.
This lot is offered at auction and carries a 30% clawback in favour of the vendors (and successors) on any uplift if planning consent for change of use from agricultural is obtained — the clawback lasts 25 years. No planning enquiries have been made; purchasers should carry out their own due diligence before bidding.
