Starcross Farm is a substantial ring‑fenced block of 100.85 hectares (249.19 acres) of mixed arable, permanent pasture and well‑managed woodland situated off Turbary Road, Epworth. The holding arrives with an established environmental focus — scrapes for breeding waders, woodland and an existing HLS/ELS income stream — making it suited to buyers targeting biodiversity enhancement, carbon offsetting or continued commercial agriculture.
The land currently generates £23,815 per annum under HLS and ELS agreements running to 30 September 2028. Practical assets include mains electricity, a borehole with up to 20m3/day capacity and an underground water pipe network, plus good internal tracks and multiple access points from the public highway.
Practical constraints are clear and factual: the land lies within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone and carries a medium flood risk for some areas. There are no Basic Payment Scheme entitlements included in the sale. Broadband is very slow and mobile signal only average, which may affect non‑agricultural uses or remote working. Purchasers should note standard drainage rates and cross‑compliance obligations transfer on completion.
This property will suit an environmental investor, farming business or land manager seeking a large, contiguous estate with immediate environmental credentials and water infrastructure. It offers scope to enhance biodiversity value or integrate carbon sequestering measures, while continuing productive arable and grazing operations.
