This substantial freehold holding extends to approximately 48.36 acres (19.56 ha) of mixed arable and pasture in Middridge, Newton Aycliffe. The block comprises three arable fields (currently winter barley) and one grass pasture with a metered mains water trough and track access; soils are Grade 3 agricultural land suited to continued cropping or grazing.
The land is well-located for agricultural use with direct access from The Meadows and established field boundaries of hedgerow and post-and-wire fencing. It lies in a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone and the vendor will retain the 2025 harvest, with vacant possession provided thereafter. Mines and mineral rights are excepted from the sale.
Important sale conditions affect future change of use: the sale is subject to a 25% overage on any uplift in value triggered by implementation or sale with residential planning consent (payable over 25 years). There is also a public right of way along the western edge of one parcel. Broadband is slow and mobile signal average; crime statistics for the wider area are above average.
For agricultural occupiers and long-term investors this is a productive, accessible block with immediate cropping potential and basic water supply to pasture. For anyone considering development, the overage clause and NVZ status are material constraints that will affect viability and should be investigated with planning and environmental advisers.
