Approximately 173.85 acres (70.35 ha) of arable, grassland and woodland
A substantial block of productive Suffolk farmland in the Alde Valley, offered freehold as a whole or in up to four lots. Extending to approximately 173.85 acres (70.35ha), the mix of arable, grassland and woodland sits on Grade 3 Beccles-series soils suited to cereals, root crops and mixed cropping. The land has been farmed to a high standard under contract farming; the current farmer is prepared to continue under new ownership, offering immediate operational continuity.
The holding benefits from good road access, multiple gateways and internal tracks, included sporting, timber and mineral rights, and no identified flood risk. Environmental stewardship features are in place (buffer strips, flower margins, legume fallow, winter bird food) which support biodiversity and may attract ecological interest. Views across Sweffling towards Rendham and Benhall and the hamlet setting give strong privacy and rural character.
Buyers should note several material obligations: the land is within a Countryside Stewardship Mid Tier Agreement running to 31 December 2027 and purchasers must take on scheme requirements until expiry. There are no Basic Payment Scheme entitlements included and all de-linked payments are retained by the vendor. If sold, an Exclusivity Agreement with a 5% exclusivity fee is expected. Incoming purchasers will also be required to pay for cultivations and growing crops at completion per an ingoing valuation.
This opportunity will suit farming businesses seeking scale in a well-managed holding, investors aiming for agricultural income and sporting potential, or buyers seeking a large rural asset with environmental schemes already established. Prospective purchasers should inspect the detailed information pack, check rights of way and boundary details, and allow for stewardship obligations and potential VAT or drainage outgoings when assessing the purchase.
