Description
The sale of Land at Scropton presents an excellent opportunity for a farmer or investor to acquire a productive arable farm in Derbyshire.
The Land at Scropton is a commercial arable holding comprising large, regular-shaped fields well suited to modern farming practices. The land has been farmed in-hand to a high standard, most recently entered into an extensive SFI scheme.
In total, the Land at Scropton extends to approximately 325 acres. Of this, about 212 acres are productive arable land, 67 acres comprise woodland, 6 acres are permanent pasture, with the balance made up of miscellaneous areas.
In addition, parts of the adjoining holding (Sweet Holme Farm), currently an equestrian center with a comfortable farmhouse, may be available by separate agreement, potentially expanding the available acreage or providing a farmstead at the heart of the holding.
Land at Scropton offers an outstanding opportunity for farmers and investors to acquire a substantial commercial arable farm within a well-regarded agricultural area of south Derbyshire.
The arable land extends to approximately 212.51 acres, with the majority classified as Grade 3 under the Agricultural Land Classification of England and Wales.
The soils are predominantly river terrace sand and gravels, described as sand to sandy loams in the main with a mixture of clay to sandy loams in the southern part.
The farm has traditionally operated a classic arable rotation, with several large areas enrolled in Sustainable Farming Incentive schemes in recent years. The fields are well-sized and efficiently shaped, with some particularly large parcels that, with further investment, offer significant operational efficiencies.
Lot One
Lot one covers around 234 acres and includes approximately 163 acres of arable land, representing the largest single block of arable land within the holding. It also benefits from 56.36 acres of attractive mature woodland, with all timber rights included.
The additional areas of pasture, water and miscellaneous land enhance the amenity appeal.
Lot Two
Lot two extends to approximately 92 acres, comprising around 76 acres of productive arable land as its principal component. It is further complemented by 10.73 acres of mature woodland, along with smaller areas of water and miscellaneous land. This lot offers an attractive, compact arable block, well suited to modern farming operations, with the woodland and natural features adding amenity interest and potential environmental benefits.
Location
The farm lies to the north of the village of Scropton, a rural community in south Derbyshire, benefiting from a range of local amenities, including a parish church and village hall. Further services and facilities available in nearby towns such as Uttoxeter and Burton upon Trent.
The farm is well located for access to the regional road network. The A50 dual carriageway, providing a direct link between the M1 and M6 motorways, lies directly north of the land, offering convenient routes to Derby, Stoke-on-Trent and beyond. The land is accessible from the public highway at various points along Station Road and surrounding lanes.
