A rare, ring‑fenced block of productive Grade 2 arable land extending to about 284.62 acres (115.18 ha) close to Repton and Foremark Reservoir. The holding is predominantly arable with well‑drained, freely draining loamy and sandy soils, established hedgerows, shelterbelt woodlands and permanent grass used for grazing. Multiple highway access points and good internal tracks make the block highly accessible for farm operations and contractors.
This lot suits an active farmer, investor or equestrian user seeking a large, contiguous block with immediate cropping potential. The land currently carries a second wheat crop; an ingoing crop valuation may be required depending on completion date. The property is sold freehold with vacant possession, though part is subject to a grazing licence and some stewardship obligations that will transfer to the purchaser on completion.
Key constraints are factual and material: a small area adjacent to the brook falls within flood zones 2 and 3; the holding lies inside a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone (NVZ); mineral rights are reserved to a third party; VAT is payable in addition to the purchase price; and the land is subject in part to an overage/ uplift provision and existing stewardship schemes (Countryside Stewardship until 2028). Prospective buyers should satisfy themselves on services, boundaries, and any wayleaves or rights of way before offer.
Overall, this is a large, well‑positioned agricultural investment with immediate productive use and long‑term potential, but it carries typical rural sale conditions (stewardship take‑over, overage, minerals reservation and NVZ restrictions) that buyers must factor into valuation and future planning.
