Range of brick buildings, Nissan hut and pole barns on site
Freehold with vacant possession; sporting and mineral rights included
No mains services connected — water/electricity to be provided by buyer
Vendor reserves 30% uplift clawback for non-agricultural planning (30 years)
Medium flood risk in parts; prospective buyers should obtain surveys
Northern paddock boundary must be fenced within three months of completion
High local crime levels; buildings are derelict and require repair or clearance
A substantial former MOD yard and adjoining paddock extending to approximately 6.42 acres (2.60 ha), offered with vacant possession and a mix of brick buildings, timber pole barns and hardstanding. The site’s screening, existing structures and direct access off Palmer Avenue give genuine scope for agricultural, equestrian or commercial redevelopment, subject to planning (STPP).
The buildings are largely derelict and will need repair or clearance; there are no mains services connected. The vendor reserves a 30% development uplift clawback for any non-agricultural/equine planning granted within 30 years, which affects future value capture for redevelopment schemes. The purchaser must also fence the northern paddock boundary within three months of completion to an agreed specification.
Practical constraints include medium flood risk in parts, high local crime levels, very slow broadband, and no BPS payments included. Positive features are freehold title, included sporting/mineral/timber rights (so far as owned), generous vehicular access and mature screening that can aid discreet redevelopment or mixed rural uses.
This site suits investors or developers seeking a sizable plot with flexible use potential, and farmers or equestrian users requiring large paddock and yard space. The opportunity is driven by land scale and location near Bicester and motorway links, but successful purchase assumes budget and appetite for building repair, services provision and navigation of planning and the vendor’s clawback provision.
