A sizeable block of Grade 3 agricultural land extending to 12.39 hectares (30.61 acres) in Saltfleetby, offered as a whole or as a 17.98-acre lot. The holding benefits from established hedgerows and a series of scrapes created under a previous Capital Grant scheme, giving the parcel immediate value for wildlife and habitat enhancement. The land is relatively flat and open, suitable for pasture or arable uses and attractive to buyers interested in biodiversity projects or carbon offsetting.
The property sits within a Higher Level Stewardship (HLS) scheme recently extended to 2029; the purchaser must accept the HLS obligations until that termination date. There are restrictive covenants to retain specified hedgerows and trees in perpetuity and a requirement for rotational hedge cutting. The land also lies within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone and has a medium flood risk in places—both practical constraints for some farming or development plans.
There are no mains services on the land, though utilities are believed to be nearby, and access is directly off the A1031. Sporting, timber and mineral rights are included (except statutory Crown reservations). The vendor requests exchange within 28 working days of a draft contract and a 10% deposit on exchange if competition applies. Buyers should factor in the covenant and scheme obligations when assessing future management or income opportunities.
This parcel will suit buyers focused on environmental land management, carbon or biodiversity projects, or conventional agricultural use under existing stewardship agreements. It offers immediate ecological value but comes with legal and environmental constraints that materially affect management flexibility until at least 2029.
