A substantial, well-located parcel of Grade 2 agricultural land extending to 22.24 acres on the southern edge of Knapton, close to York and directly adjacent to the Wetherby Road roundabout. The site sits inside the A1237 (York Ring Road) with good vehicular access from Wetherby Road and two further access points from Lowfield Lane. Currently in grass ley with a recent history of combinable cropping, the holding is suited to commercial arable use, grazing or long-term land investment.
The freehold sale includes sporting and mineral rights (so far as owned) and vacant possession on completion. Practical benefits include multiple access points, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband for rural standards. There are no public rights of way across the land and the horizon is defined by mature trees, giving open, tranquil views and clear field boundaries.
Important constraints and charges are disclosed. The land lies within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone (NVZ), may therefore be subject to agricultural controls, and there are overhead electricity lines crossing the northern corner. No on-site services are known. The sale is subject to a 30-year overage clause reserving 50% of any uplift in value if planning permission is granted for non-agricultural/equestrian uses, which materially affects speculative development upside.
This plot suits farmers, estate purchasers and buy-and-hold investors seeking large-scale productive land close to York. Those specifically seeking development potential should note the overage, NVZ status and absence of services and should carry out their own planning and technical enquiries before offer.
