Ring‑fenced 49.76-acre Grade 3 arable block — tender by 4 April 2025.
About 49.76 acres (20.14 ha) ring‑fenced block of Grade 3 arable land
Lot 5 at Middle Farm offers about 49.76 acres (20.14 ha) of ring-fenced, productive Grade 3 arable land in Rutland, presented for sale by informal tender. The block is currently uncropped, bordered by mature hedgerows and lies within easy drive of Oakham and the A1, giving farming, investment or lifestyle buyers good access to markets and services.
The soils are described as slowly permeable, seasonally wet loamy and clayey soils suited to grass production, beef/dairy or some cereal cropping for feed. There are no known mains services to this lot; purchasers should assume they will need to arrange any connections. A small western strip falls within Flood Zones 2 and 3 — a material consideration for cropping and future development planning.
Practical points: basic payment entitlements have been retained by the vendors; the land is sold subject to a cropping licence for the 2025 harvest and the lot carries an overage provision (20% uplift on value from renewable energy development within 20 years). A farm business tenancy affects some modern buildings on the wider farm until 1 January 2026. Offers must be submitted by 12 noon on Friday 4 April 2025 by informal tender.
This lot will appeal to active farmers seeking additional arable/pasture acreage, investors targeting land-holding exposure in a very affluent area, and purchasers with longer-term development or diversification plans (subject to consents). Buyers should commission independent surveys and make their own enquiries about rights of way, services and any planning constraints before tendering.
