Lot 4 at Vinesse Farm is a compact, freehold block of arable land extending to 22.79 acres, offered with direct access off the B1058. The land is classified by DEFRA as Grade 3 and is currently in winter wheat; soil is Hornbeam 3 series. The parcel benefits from good road access, a private rural setting and no identified flood risk.
Income support currently exists via a Countryside Stewardship agreement (expires 31.12.2028) and two Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) agreements; vendors will attempt transfer of the SFIs but this is not guaranteed. A local farmer contract-farms part of the wider holding under an agreement with a three-year break clause after harvest 2026; the lot will be sold with vacant possession subject to any remaining farming arrangements.
Practical on-site services include private borehole water and existing mains electricity connections nearby; the wider farm benefits from fibre broadband. The land lies within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone, which may affect future cropping or environmental options. This lot offers straightforward arable investment or incorporation into a larger farming/equestrian holding, with immediate cropping and near-term stewardship payments but with some income-transfer uncertainty.
