This substantial parcel comprises approximately 28.07 acres (11.36 hectares) of productive grassland close to Ford, Shrewsbury. The land has been used for pasture and silage/hay production, with mature hedgerows and trees to boundaries and multiple access points including direct access off the A458 to one lot. Mains water is available but purchasers should confirm other services and connections.
The site is offered in three lots on a freehold basis with vacant possession. It is not entered into any agri-environment schemes, so it is available for immediate agricultural use or to hold as an investment. The rural setting and expansive open fields suit traditional farming, equestrian or recreational uses and provide scope for alternative cropping or pasture.
Important legal and development considerations: there is a 30-year overage clause giving the vendor 50% of any uplift in value resulting from non-agricultural or non-equestrian development. The land will be sold subject to existing wayleaves, easements and rights of way, and boundaries are for buyer verification. Any prospective change of use or built development would need planning consent and the overage payment.
Overall this is a large, well-located greenfield opportunity for farmers, investors or those seeking a countryside holding. It is straightforward for continued agricultural use but carries material restrictions and costs for anyone planning non-agricultural development.
