This 4.62-acre freehold parcel on the edge of Barlby offers high-quality Grade 1 arable land with direct frontage to Barlby Road. The flat, stoneless Romney-series soils are described as deep, permeable and calcareous — well suited to sugar beet, potatoes, cereals and many horticultural crops. Good road links put York about 12 miles north and Selby under 2 miles away, giving easy access for agricultural operations or contracting services.
The site is framed by open countryside and currently down to arable cropping; entry will be granted on completion or after the existing crop is harvested. There are no public footpaths crossing the field and sporting and mineral rights are included, insofar as owned. A single telegraph pole sits at the southwest corner and no services are known to be connected — buyers should confirm service availability for any future plans.
Important planning and title constraints materially affect non-agricultural development potential. A restrictive covenant limits use to agricultural, equestrian or horticultural purposes, and an 11-year overage clause reserves 70% of any uplift to North Yorkshire Council should planning for non-agricultural uses be granted. These provisions preserve the land’s agricultural character but restrict speculative development opportunities.
This lot will suit farmers, horticultural producers or investors seeking high-quality arable land with strong soils and good access. It is not a straightforward development plot; any purchaser seeking change of use must factor the restrictive covenant and substantial overage payment into valuation and strategy.
