This offering is a substantial block of productive Suffolk farmland in the Alde Valley, extending to approximately 173.85 acres and offered freehold. Predominantly Grade 3 soils (Beccles series) have supported a white-straw rotation of wheat, barley, oilseed rape, sugar beet and beans; a contract farmer currently in-hand has indicated a willingness to continue cultivation for a purchaser. Good road frontage, multiple gateways and internal tracks provide practical access into each lot.
The land is presented in four lots (up to c.83.83 acres) to suit agricultural investors, estate purchasers or those seeking a large rural holding. The block includes arable fields, permanent pasture, mixed woodland and river-side pasture with attractive valley views. Environmental features are already in place under a Countryside Stewardship Mid Tier Agreement (to 31 Dec 2027) including buffer strips, flower margins and winter bird food, which the purchaser must carry on until that scheme ends.
Practical points to note: the sale may be subject to an Exclusivity Agreement requiring a 5% Exclusivity Fee; there are no Basic Payment Scheme entitlements included and any in-going cultivations or growing crops will be charged additionally at assessed rates. All sporting, timber and mineral rights are included (except statutory reservations). Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow; mobile signal is excellent and flood risk is nil.
This is a straightforward, well-located agricultural investment with immediate productive use and ecological enhancements already established. It suits buyers seeking large-scale arable or mixed farming, long-term stewardship opportunities, or incorporation into a country estate. Buyers should review the stewardship agreement, rights of way arrangements, and the ingoing valuation details before exchange.
