This is a substantial, level block of arable land extending to about 255 acres, offered as a single parcel and freehold. The holding comprises mainly Grade 3 soils with a significant area of Grade 2 in the south‑east, providing good cropping potential for combinable and irrigated root crops. The ground is a mix of clay and sandy loams and sits within a well‑connected agricultural area just off the A49, with easy road access for machinery and transport.
The majority of the farm was recently managed under a Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) scheme, offering immediate scope to continue environmental stewardship or to revert to conventional cropping. An abstraction licence exists on the adjoining holding and water for irrigation can be supplied by separate arrangement; buyers should note water access is not included in the freehold and will require negotiation. The land has no recorded flood risk and benefits from fast broadband and very low local crime rates.
Practical considerations include the owners retaining the established stone access track and a route for a possible future “return” track; the vendor will permit farming of a narrow strip by separate annual agreement until any new track is constructed. New boundary fencing is to be erected on completion. These arrangements and the retained access route should be reviewed by prospective purchasers' advisers. Overall the block suits a range of agricultural enterprises or conservation uses and will appeal to buyers seeking a large, manageable arable holding within easy reach of Wem and Shrewsbury.
