127 acres of productive arable land with environmental potential and good transport links.
Approximately 127.45 acres (51.57 ha) of productive arable land
A substantial block of productive arable land extending to approximately 127.45 acres (51.57 hectares) north of Kings Newton, adjoining the River Trent. The holding is predominantly Grade 2–4 agricultural land, largely flat and well-suited to continued cropping, environmental uses or biodiversity net gain (BNG) offsetting. Multiple access points from Wards Lane and Trent Lane and good road links (A50 and M1 nearby) support working or commercial uses.
The land includes a mix of open fields, hedgerows and scenic riverside boundary. Part of the northern boundary falls within Flood Zones 2 and 3, so any change of use or development will require careful consideration. There are high-voltage overhead lines crossing the site and no mains services currently connect to the land.
Practical sale details to note: the land is sold freehold subject to an overage clawback of 20% on any development uplift for 20 years (excluding agricultural, equestrian, environmental, renewable energy or forestry uses). The holding is entered into a mid-tier Countryside Stewardship Scheme running to 31/12/2025; the seller retains holdover rights to harvest the current crop in 2025 and vacant possession will be provided from 31/12/2025.
Buyers should be aware of a requirement to erect a new deer fence between specified points (specification to be agreed) and that fishing rights on the adjoining River Trent are held by a third party. Mineral rights are excepted from the sale. The site offers clear opportunities for agricultural operators, environmental projects or purchasers seeking a large rural landholding in an affluent, well-connected part of South Derbyshire.
