An extensive block (offered as whole or in three lots) of Grade 3 arable land and woodland at Hill Farm, Woodford, immediately accessible to the A14. The soils (Moreton and Banbury Series) are well suited to winter cereals or temporary grass leys, making the holding straightforward to farm or let. Parcels are divided by hedgerows and ditches; permanent pasture benefits from a mains water supply.
This is a practical purchase for farmers, arable contractors or investors seeking scale and proximity to local markets (Kettering, Wellingborough, Corby). Vacant possession is expected from 29 September 2025 after notices to the current tenant; early entry onto harvested fields may be possible at the purchaser’s risk. Sporting and timber rights are included where owned; mineral rights are excluded.
Buyers should note material constraints: the land lies within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone (NVZ), there is an overage on future non-agricultural development (45% uplift share for 50 years), and limited mains services are connected (only pasture has water). There is a public footpath across Lot 2 and the vendor reserves rights of way across Lots 1 and 2. Prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves on planning, wayleaves and any entitlements.
