Summary - Herne Farm Herne Farm Herne Farm Herne Farm Ashton Road, Oundle, Peterborough, Northamptonshire PE8 4DN
1 bed 1 bath Land
Productive Grade 2 arable with woodland, ideal for farming or long-term landholding.
5.67 acres arable plus c.0.55 acres woodland
Lot 3 at Herne Farm offers 5.67 acres (2.29 ha) of productive Grade 2 arable land plus about 0.55 acres of woodland, presented as a freehold lot with a guide price of £60,000. The soils (Sutton 1 series) are well drained loamy soils suited to cereals, potatoes and some field vegetables, supporting immediate agricultural or equestrian use. Access is via a shared right of way across a bridleway adjoining the A605.
The sale carries practical conditions buyers must accept: the land is entered into a Mid‑Tier Countryside Stewardship scheme (runs to 31 Dec 2027) which the purchaser will take on if required, and a separate Sustainable Farming Incentive agreement is not transferable. There are no mains services on site, the farm lies in a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone, and the sale is subject to a 25‑year overage payable (25% uplift) on future non‑agricultural development approvals or disposals with consent.
For a purchaser focused on farming, diversification or long‑term land investment, this parcel is a low‑density, high‑potential holding on the edge of Oundle. Expect upfront costs on ingoing valuation (growing crops, inputs, enhancement) and possible harvest holdover arrangements. Planning prospects should be checked with North Northamptonshire Council; the overage and NVZ designation materially affect non‑agricultural redevelopment value.
In short: attractive arable soils and existing stewardship payments offer immediate farming potential, but the stewardship commitments, overage, absence of services and medium flood risk are important constraints for developers or those requiring quick utility connections.
