Large ring-fenced coastal arable block with historic listed tower and biodiversity potential.
392.15 acres productive Grade 3 arable land suitable for cereals
A rare, ring-fenced block of productive Grade 3 arable land extending to about 392.15 acres, with direct road access to Tower Road and Hogsea Lane. The soils (Burlingham 2 series) are suited to cereal cropping, the parcels are machine-friendly and the holding includes small woodland, wetland, cliff and pond areas that support biodiversity and carbon sequestration opportunities.
The site includes Admiral Storr’s Tower (Hilston Mount), a Grade II listed octagonal lookout tower dating from 1750. The tower is an attractive historic feature with restoration potential but its listed status will restrict works and add cost and complexity if change of use or repairs are proposed.
Practical considerations: the land lies inside a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone, has no known services on site and is entered into a Sustainable Farming Incentive agreement that will be terminated on sale. The seller will retain any remaining de-linked BPS payments and growing crops may be retained or transferred depending on completion timing. Public footpaths cross the land and cliff edges present inspection and maintenance hazards.
This freehold block will suit an established farmer, investor or conservation buyer looking for scale — options include continued arable farming, environmental schemes, carbon/biodiversity projects or alternative uses subject to planning consents. Offers for parts may be considered, but the property is offered primarily as a whole.
