Land Details
A single parcel of productive land extending to approximately 45.59 acres, mostly down to pasture with a small area of woodland. The pasture extends to approximately 42.25 acres and whilst currently down to a grass ley planted in 2015, it has previously been planted to maize and used for whole crop cereals. It is classified as “arable” with the Rural Payments Agency. The land has been farmed organically for over 20 years and a soil test undertaken in 2022 indicated high organic matter content. The adjoining woodland extends to approximately 3.33 acres.
The land is primarily Grade 3 land classification with a small area of Grade 4 to the east, over base-rich loamy and clayey soils. The land benefits from good roadside access, fencing, a mature hedgerow to the west, and a mains water connection.
Access
Access to the land is obtained from two gateways leading from the public highway to the north.
Services
A water trough is located to the north of the land with a mains water metered connection located on the boundary with the Bushton Road. It will be the responsibility of the purchaser to investigate whether any other services can be made available.
Location
The land is located in an attractive position, approximately 1.5 miles east of the village of Hilmarton and is marked with a red circle on the location plan overleaf.
Rights of Way and Easements
Footpath HILM1 runs diagonally across the land shown in blue on the plan overleaf. A government oil pipeline runs across the land which includes rights to maintain and use. As far as we are aware, there are no other rights of way or easements crossing the land.
Sporting & Mineral Rights
The Sporting & Mineral Rights are in hand and included in the sale so far as they are owned.
Basic Payment Scheme
The land is registered on the Rural Payments Register and historically, the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) has been claimed. BPS and entitlements are no longer available so are not included with the sale. As the delinked payment transfer window has passed, the vendor will continue to receive the future delinked payments relating to the land.
Environmental Matters
The land is under a Mid-Tier Countryside Stewardship Scheme ending 31st December 2026, under the option OT3: Organic land management – rotational land, which brings in an annual income of £2,254.94. This scheme can either be transferred to the purchaser or terminated. The land lies within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone.
Method of Sale
The freehold of the property is offered for sale as a whole by private treaty with vacant possession.

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
