This expansive 15.26-acre freehold arable field sits on the edge of Thorpe Cross, offering a substantial rural holding for farming or land-based investment. The site is a single, predominantly flat field with Grade 3 Windsor clay soils suited to cereal rotations, and has been registered with the Rural Payments Agency and used under the Basic Payment Scheme in recent years.
The land is well-located for rural enterprise: approximately 1.3 miles from Thorpe-le-Soken, 7 miles from Clacton-on-Sea and 17 miles from Colchester. Practical attributes include vacant possession on completion (subject to a harvest holdover), excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and basic nearby amenities. The plot’s size and open aspect also present opportunities to pursue Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) or other environmental schemes where eligible.
Important considerations: this is agricultural land with clear planning constraints — any change of use or development would require local authority consent and is not guaranteed. The Windsor clay soils are slowly permeable, which can affect drainage and suitability for some uses. The surrounding area scores as deprived on some indicators, which may influence grant availability or local market demand.
Suitable buyers include farmers seeking additional arable acreage, investors targeting land for environmental credits or long-term appreciation, and applicants prepared to navigate planning and environmental processes. The sale is for the land only — there are no buildings or services supplied with the plot beyond what is stated, and inspections should be undertaken with care due to typical farmland hazards.
