This lot offers a single enclosure of approximately 10.95 acres (4.43 ha) of level pasture with direct highway access and a natural water supply. Its flat, open profile and long-range rural views make it immediately usable for grazing, hay production or amenity purposes without buildings.
The soil is classified as ‘Fladbury 1’—river alluvium, stoneless clay with a high groundwater level—and the land is shown as Grade 4 on the Agricultural Land Classification map. That means lower agricultural productivity and potential seasonal wetness; appropriate livestock or drainage measures should be considered before intensive cropping.
The land is freehold, not in an AONB/SSSI/NVZ and is not subject to stewardship schemes or uplift/overage. A public footpath runs along the northern boundary. Buyers should note sale particulars: the lot is offered at auction, completion is set for 20 January 2025 (or earlier by arrangement), and a 10% deposit plus a buyer administration fee of £1,395 (inc VAT) will be payable by the successful bidder.
This parcel will suit purchasers with agricultural, conservation or amenity interests, or investors seeking rural land exposure. Inspect on foot at reasonable times and review the auction pack for full legal and fees information before bidding.
