- Direct vehicle access from Main Road; roadside frontage
- Grade 3 loamy/clayey soils, good fertility

A single block of productive arable land extending to approximately 18.14 acres on the outskirts of Shutlanger. The parcel is freehold with vacant possession on completion and benefits from direct roadside access from Main Road, mature hedgerow boundaries and stock‑proof fencing. Natural England classifies the soils as Grade 3 — loamy, clayey and seasonally wet but of good fertility — and the land has recently been cropped under rotation.
This holding will suit an agricultural user, local investor or purchaser seeking secure countryside acreage within easy driving distance of Towcester and Northampton (Junction 15 of the M1 c.5 miles). There is clear potential to continue cropping or to use as grazing; the fallow state after recent maize harvest means it is ready for the next rotation.
Important matters for buyers: the land has no connected mains services, and any provision of water, electricity or drainage would be at the purchaser’s cost. The sale is subject to a 30% development uplift (overage) on any non‑agricultural or non‑equestrian development for 30 years, which materially affects future redevelopment value. Buyers should carry out their own due diligence on services, access rights and planning.
Vacant freehold, roadside frontage and good highway links are strong practical benefits. This is a straightforward agricultural purchase with genuine farming potential but with explicit restrictions and costs that will influence development or change‑of‑use plans.
