A substantial ring-fenced agricultural holding of about 124.09 acres (50.22 ha) combining arable, permanent grassland and amenity woodland. The Grade 3 arable fields have been productive and are entered into a Countryside Stewardship scheme (GS4 legume and herb-rich sward), offering immediate environmental income streams and good arable potential. Easy access off Scotch Hill and proximity to the A515/A50 make the block accessible for farm traffic and contractors.
The land is practical for mixed farming, livestock grazing or continued stewardship management. Mature hedgerows, generally good post-and-wire fencing, and internal tracks support efficient field management. Woodland and established boundaries add biodiversity value and potential small-scale sporting or timber income, noting some sporting rights are reserved to a third party.
Important considerations: the sale is freehold with vacant possession but a grazing licence covering 37.77 acres of Lot 1 runs until 31 October 2025. The property lies within an NVZ, and parts of the mineral and sporting rights are reserved to third parties. Two high-voltage overhead electricity lines and a public footpath cross the land, and purchasers must accept an uplift (overage) provision: 20% of any value increase from development for 20 years unless varied by agreement.
This block is offered as a whole or in up to two lots, giving flexibility for different buyers. Broadband is very slow and mobile signal is average — typical for a remote rural location — and purchasers should confirm service connections themselves. Overall, the holding offers strong mixed-farming potential, environmental scheme income, and scope for longer-term strategic value, balanced by the stated encumbrances and stewardship obligations.
