Freehold 7.70-acre arable parcel near Babcary — ideal for agricultural use or long-term investment.
7.70 acres (3.11 ha) of gently sloping arable land
A substantial 7.70-acre (3.11 ha) freehold parcel of gently sloping arable land, offered at £95,000. The plot is currently in grass ley, enclosed by mature hedges and stockproof fencing, and benefits from a sub‑metered mains water supply on the south boundary. Good road links lie close by — A37 approximately 1 mile and A303 about 6 miles — making the land accessible while remaining quietly located outside the village of Babcary.
The land is classified as Grade 3 with lime‑rich loamy and clayey soils and impeded drainage; this supports a range of agricultural uses but may need management for wetter periods. There are no public rights of way across the parcel and all sporting rights are included. Practical access is provided from Perry Hill via an existing gateway.
Buyers should note environmental and legal constraints: the site sits in an SSSI Impact Risk Zone, a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone for surface water and a Nutrient Neutrality catchment for the Somerset Levels and Moors. A phosphate mitigation proposal and biodiversity net gain (BNG) calculations are available for prospective purchasers. The transfer contains restrictive covenants preventing intensive poultry or pig farming and prohibiting obstruction of service apparatus.
The land is offered for sale by formal tender with vacant possession on completion; tenders must be submitted by Thursday 21 August 2025 at 12 noon. A full tender pack is available and independent legal advice is recommended. This parcel will suit agricultural users, equestrian owners or investors seeking a countryside holding with development or stewardship potential, subject to consents and environmental requirements.
