Substantial agricultural holding with conversion potential in a peaceful village setting.
Very large plot with extensive farm buildings and open countryside outlook
A substantial former farmyard in the heart of Askham, Manor Farm Lot 1 offers extensive traditional and modern buildings across a very large plot. The yard includes a two‑storey brick range partly converted (upper floor used as a photography studio) and circa 1,000sqm (10,800sqft) of agricultural/ workshop accommodation with multiple roller shutters. Mains water, mains electricity (three‑phase) and mains drainage are connected, supporting continued agricultural or light‑industrial uses.
The site is well placed for agricultural, investment or redevelopment projects, being six miles from Retford and within easy reach of Lincoln and Newark, plus good A1/A57 road access. The ranges may have potential for further conversion to residential use subject to planning consent, but interested buyers must make their own enquiries with the local authority before offering.
Important commercial conditions and drawbacks are disclosed: the sale is by informal tender (offers by 5pm Wednesday 17 December 2025), Lot 1 is subject to business rates, and a commercial lease affecting Lots 1 and 2 ends 16 November 2025. An overage clause (30% of any value uplift from development or planning approval for 30 years) applies. Mineral rights are partially reserved by a third party, and the neighbouring residential owner retains a right of access across the lot. Buyers should factor these matters, and any planning or conversion costs, into their proposals.
This holding suits an investor, farming enterprise or developer prepared to work through planning, easements and overage terms. The property offers clear scale and service connections as strengths, but it is sold with commercial encumbrances and planning uncertainty that require due diligence prior to bidding.
