A rare block of productive Leicestershire farmland extending to approximately 213.74 acres (Lot 1), offered freehold with vacant possession. The holding combines arable acreage, permanent pasture and a small spinney, with good road access from Horse Hill Lane and mature hedgerows providing natural shelter and field boundaries. The land sits in gently undulating countryside between 112–151m above sea level and benefits from no identified flood risk.
The soils are a mix of freely draining, slightly acidic but base-rich soils and slowly permeable seasonally wet clayey soils; the parcel is classified as Grade 4 under the former MAFF Agricultural Land Classification, suitable for general arable, livestock or equestrian uses rather than specialist high-value cropping. There are two public rights of way across the property and all mineral, timber and sporting rights included insofar as owned.
Practical points for buyers: no Basic Payment Scheme entitlements are included and the vendor reserves future BPS payments; services are not confirmed and purchasers should make their own enquiries. While Lot 1 itself is not described as subject to overage, neighbouring lots have a long-running overage obligation on future non-agricultural development, so prospective buyers should check planning constraints and potential uplift provisions with the local authority and legal advisers.
This lot will appeal to farming businesses seeking additional acreage, equestrian users wanting extensive turnout and investors seeking a long-term rural asset in a very affluent area close to Market Harborough. Inspect with care: working farmland presents uneven ground, livestock and machinery hazards and purchasers must satisfy themselves on condition and usage rights.
