Manor Farm Lot 2 offers 279.33 acres of primarily Grade 2 arable land, presented with established large field sizes suited to modern machinery. The holding includes a farmhouse recently renovated, a farmyard with five portal-framed buildings and concrete aprons offering grain and general purpose storage, plus a 28 kW solar array on two grain store roofs. Cropping history includes malting barley, milling wheat, oilseed and beans; detailed cropping schedules are available.
The soils (Evesham 3 and Cannamore series) suit cereals and field vegetables, and the seamless internal track network provides good access across the blocks. Services to the farmyard include mains water and electricity, and there are ponds, woodland and a permissive footpath linking to a public footpath across the land—useful for sporting and biodiversity interest but creating public access points.
Buyers should note several important commercial conditions: the land sits in a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone (NVZ); the sale is subject to holdover for harvesting and ingoing valuation payments for crops and consumables at completion; and an overage applies for 40 years, payable at 30% on uplift from non-agricultural development (agriculture, equine, forestry excepted). The vendor reserves any future de-linked Basic Payment Scheme payments and the land is not currently in environmental stewardship.
This is a well-presented, operational arable holding aimed at farmers or investors seeking scale and immediate productive potential. It is offered freehold, either as a whole or in two lots, with practical equipment and storage already in place—ideal for consolidating acreage or expanding an existing enterprise. Prospective purchasers should carry out their own planning and due diligence enquiries.
