Large, subdivisible arable and woodland holding near M1, 24 miles from London.
Approximately 293.20 acres (118.84 ha) of arable land and woodland
A substantial holding of predominantly arable land and woodland extending to approximately 293.20 acres (118.84 ha), offered freehold and available as a whole or in up to four lots. The land sits in a rural, accessible location south and west of Flamstead, close to the M1 and about 24 miles from Central London, making it suitable for commercial farming, conservation schemes, or strategic land investment. Broadband is fast and there is no flood risk.
The property benefits from existing Countryside Stewardship Mid-Tier agreements running until 31/12/2028 and includes sporting, timber and mineral rights insofar as owned. Access is available from multiple lanes (Puddephats Lane, Green Lane, Beechwood Lane), and purchasers will be granted early entry for the 2026 establishment subject to an additional 10% deposit. Vacant possession will be available at Michaelmas 2025.
Key practical points are that the land is sold subject to all existing rights, wayleaves and easements, and purchasers are expected to satisfy themselves on boundaries and rights of access before purchase. The holding offers clear scale and flexibility — from the very large Lot 1 (223.99 acres) down to smaller Lots 2, 3 and 4 — letting buyers match size to use and capital outlay. Useful proximity to local schools and leisure/equestrian facilities adds local amenity value.
This property suits farmers, woodland investors, and strategic land purchasers seeking a large, well-connected rural holding with stewardship payments in place for the short term. Buyers should note the stewardship expiry date and planned vacant possession timing when assessing cropping, tenancy or conservation plans.
