Entered into Mid‑Tier Countryside Stewardship until 31 Dec 2027

Lot 5 offers about 12.19 acres of Grade 2 permanent pasture and productive Sutton 1 series soils, suited to cereals, potatoes and some field vegetables. The land is split by hedgerows and ditches, with a river along one edge and expansive rural views — useful for continued agricultural use, equestrian grazing or longer-term holding for value uplift.
Practical considerations: there are no mains services on the parcel, access is via a shared right of way off a bridleway adjoining the A605, and two public footpaths cross nearby lots. The land is entered into a Mid‑Tier Countryside Stewardship scheme (runs to 31 Dec 2027) and a non-transferable Sustainable Farming Incentive; the purchaser will take on scheme obligations where applicable. Drainage rates apply and the site sits in a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone.
Development constraints and charges are material: an overage applies for 25 years at 25% of any increase in value arising from non‑agricultural planning consent (excluding agriculture, forestry, equine). Flood risk is assessed as medium; prospective buyers should satisfy themselves with Environment Agency and planning enquiries. The vendor will retain stewardship payments up to completion and standard ingoing valuation costs for crops/inputs apply.
This is a substantial, well‑drained block of farmland with immediate agricultural use and longer‑term potential subject to planning and overage. It will suit a farming purchaser, equestrian user or an investor seeking an agricultural holding with clear stewardship arrangements and defined constraints.
