A substantial 12.26-acre parcel of restored grassland lies on the south side of the A47, a short distance northwest of Wansford. The site is freehold, largely flat and highly visible from the A47, with an established vehicular entrance (gate is locked; on-foot viewing recommended). Soils are classified Grade 3 (Elmton 1 Series) — shallow, calcareous, and generally well drained — reflecting prior limestone extraction and restoration.
This land is offered bare with no fixed equipment or connected services; prospective buyers should make their own enquiries regarding water, power and other utilities. There are two restored ponds and adjacent woodland nearby, making the plot suitable for grazing, amenity uses, or as a long-term rural investment. Agricultural, equestrian or low-intensity private uses (non-business stables) would not trigger the overage clause.
Important legal and environmental points: the vendor retains rights to access and remove boreholes, and an application to the Environment Agency to surrender the waste permit is pending — borehole removal (if/when) will not be at purchaser expense. The sale is subject to a 20-year overage/uplift/clawback at 25% of any uplift in value triggered by change of use, sale with planning consent, or commencement of development (agricultural/horticultural/private equestrian use excluded).
Interested parties should note no Basic Payment Scheme delinked payments, contracts or quotas transfer with the sale. The land is registered with adjacent land under Title CB194212; buyers must verify boundaries, access rights, shared maintenance obligations and conduct their own due diligence on planning, services and environmental conditions before purchase.
