Set on picturesque Mersea Island, Lot 2 at Ivy Farm extends to approximately 3.65 acres, including a 3.2-acre meadow and a strip fronting Ivy Lane. The site offers tangible potential for residential development, subject to planning — the application has not been submitted or approved. Its rural setting provides open countryside and possible distant water views toward the Colne Estuary.
The land is in an Environmental Stewardship agreement (ELS/HLS) running until 30 June 2028. The buyer will be required to take over any applicable management obligations; the apportioned annual income from the scheme is estimated at about £3,000. Access is available from Ivy Lane or via a secondary right of way off the Golf House driveway.
Important legal and commercial points: the seller will retain a vehicular right of way to access a boat mooring and a pedestrian right of way linking to the coastal path. An overage clause reserves 30% of any uplift in value from residential development to the seller for 25 years. Flood risk is assessed as medium — buyers should undertake site-specific checks.
This freehold lot is suitable for a buyer seeking either an investment/development opportunity (subject to planning) or continued agricultural/conservation use under the existing stewardship scheme. Offers in the region of £70,000 are invited; vacant possession will be given on completion.
