Large arable plot in AONB — farming or investment potential with environmental constraints.
Approximately 38.58 acres (15.61 ha) arable land cropped with peas
Lot 4 at Upton offers a substantial, ready-to-work arable holding of approximately 38.58 acres (15.61 ha), currently cropped with peas. The parcel is gently south‑sloping, with good roadside access from Hagbourne Hill and open views across established farming countryside — suitable for continued cropping or grazing.
This lot sits within the North Wessex Downs National Landscape (AONB) and a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone, which supports valued rural character but will influence future land management and any statutory consents. There is a disused quarry in the south‑eastern corner; buyers should allow for its presence when planning operations or inspections.
The land is sold freehold. It is currently tenanted but will be sold with vacant possession on completion; holdover will be required where crops remain unharvested. No services are connected, and several rights of way, wayleaves and easements affect the property — these are sold subject to existing rights.
Practical considerations: the lot has medium flood risk in places, falls inside environmental designations, and some neighbouring parcels lie adjacent to residential development. Offers are invited by the stated deadline; purchasers should expect standard anti‑money laundering checks and to satisfy any VAT or local authority requirements prior to completion.
