Location - The property is located between the villages of Pitsford and Moulton approximately half a mile south of the village of Pitsford and adjacent to Moulton Agricultural College.
The Land - The land has been farmed for spring oats, rape and barley over previous seasons comprising varied blowaway sand with heavier ground to the north and some loamy soil to the south. Cultivation and hedge trimming have not been completed by the tenants. The purchaser will be required to fence the boundary between the land to be sold and the vendor's retained land with pressure treated post and three rail stock proof fencing within three months of the completion of the sale.
Basic Payment Scheme - The property will not include the right to any delinked payments which are specifically excluded from the sale.
Environmental Schemes - The land is not included in any environmental schemes.
Mineral And Sporting Rights - The Mines, Minerals and Sporting Rights such as they exist are included in the freehold.
Services - There are no services connected to the property although it is believed that there is a main water supply running beneath the land.
Tenure - The land is freehold and has been let to Ivor and Dale Caswell on a Farm Business Tenancy dated the 5th October 2017 which was initially for a term expiring on the 28th September 2018 having been continued year on year. Current rent is £6,875 per annum (for 55 acres) payable by equal instalments in advance on the 29th September and the 25th March each year. The crop from this season has been taken and the tenant served with notice to quit on 28th September 2025 meaning that vacant possession will be given on completion. The outgoing tenants do wish to continue farming the field and would be pleased to enter into a new FBT with the buyer.
Vehicle Access - The existing access for which planning permission was granted in 2023 is through land to be retained by the vendor and will be granted in perpetuity unless the buyer elects to re-locate this access at which time rights to the existing access will be given up.
Overage - The land is sold subject to an overage clause expiring 2053 with 33 years remaining. The additional payment will be calculated at 50% of uplift in the value from the base value in the event that planning permission for development of the land is obtained.

Wayleaves, Easements And Rights Of Way - The property is sold subject to all existing rights of way whether public or private, easements, quasi-easements, and wayleaves whether specifically referred to or not. The sellers agent believes that there appear to be no public rights of way on the designated plan, however purchasers are encouraged to make their own enquiries.

We advise that children and or pets are not permitted on the property and viewings should be carried out in daylight hours only.
