This is a rare chance to acquire a ring‑fenced block of productive Grade 3 arable land extending to about 42.23 ha (104.36 acres) on the coastal fringe east of Whitley Bay. The holding is currently farmed in hand, producing spring barley and winter wheat, and benefits from good field shapes, established boundaries and direct roadside access from the A193. Its proximity to towns and regional roads makes it practical for satellite or contracted farming operations.
The land includes areas of permanent pasture, meadow under an HLS prescription and grass leys used for haylage, plus parcels currently in legume fallow. A natural water supply serves part of the holding. Part of the site is enrolled in Higher Level Stewardship (HLS) and a three‑year SFI agreement (in year two); these can be transferred or terminated, with related costs and apportionments applying to the purchaser.
No buildings or residential accommodation are included; the bare land requires no capital outlay for structures and suits local farmers, contract farming, or investors seeking agricultural income and environmental credits. The position adjacent to the coast gives amenity value and potential access to biodiversity/net gain markets, though any mid‑ to long‑term development prospects would be conditional on planning and subject to the existing restrictive covenant that limits use to agriculture unless varied.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: crop ingoing valuations or holdover may apply at completion; a purchaser must erect a stock‑proof fence on the sale plan within six weeks; and soils are described as seasonally wet, slowly permeable loamy/clayey (Grade 3) which can influence cropping windows. Interested parties should verify services, scheme details and planning potential with the local authority before purchase.
