A substantial South Wales holding of about 295.71 acres (119.67 ha) offered freehold with immediate agricultural and diversified income potential. The land comprises approximately 243.21 acres of principally undulating grassland and about 50.50 acres of semi-ancient woodland (Lodge Wood), with tracks, scrub and amenity areas. Mains water is connected and the site has good road access, being 3.1 miles from the M4 and under 5 miles from Newport city centre.
The holding already contains a long‑term solar park (3.91MW) on part of the wider farm and a number of public rights of way and a bridleway cross Lot 1. Soils are a mix of ALC grade 2, 3a and 3b — generally good to moderate — with areas of impeded drainage to the north and freely draining soils to the south. The land is currently let under a grazing/mowing licence on a peppercorn fee to 31 October 2025 and can be vacated earlier with one month’s notice.
Material constraints are stated clearly: a 132kV overhead power line crosses the property; small areas have surface water flood risk; part of the woodland includes a scheduled ancient monument (Lodge Wood Camp) limiting development in that area; and the lot will be sold subject to cross-rights for access to Lot 2. The sale is also subject to VAT and an existing development overage plus a new 25% uplift overage on any defined development for 50 years, which materially affects future development value.
This is most attractive to land investors, farmers or purchasers seeking scale and diversification (agriculture, woodland, renewable income). The holding is offered as a whole or in up to two lots, with full data-room information available to interested parties. Purchasers should review the overage, covenants restricting activity near the solar park, public rights of way, scheduled monument protections, and service/wayleave positions before tendering.
