Description
Introduction
Located close to the sought after village of Writtle in south Essex, this block of arable land at Bearmans Farm is situated in a strategic location just north of the A12. This productive block of land is currently utilised for arable cropping, however could also be suited to a range of future uses.
The land is easily accessed off Writtle Road, with a concrete pad situated within the gated entranceway. The land is split into two arable fields, bordered by a mixture of hedgerows and mature trees in-part. This sale presents an opportunity for a purchaser to farm the land either as an owner-occupier or investor.
Situation
The property is situated 2 miles south of the popular village of Writtle, home to Writtle University College. Chelmsford City centre is situated 5 miles to the north-east of the property, offering a full range of amenities.
Junction 15 of the A12 is easily accessed from the land, providing a direct road connection to London and Ipswich.
Description
Extending to about 60.83 acres, the land is laid out in two medium-sized fields, providing an opportunity to continue the existing arable farming operations at the site. Alternatively, the land would lend itself to use as a site for the grazing of livestock or horses. The property benefits from two points of access off Writtle Road, including a large concrete apron on the southernmost access. The land has been farmed on a traditional arable rotation and part grass ley. The arable element of the property is currently fallow and ready to be drilled with a spring crop for the 2026 growing season. The land is level in gradient and the soils are classified as Grade 2/3 in the Agricultural Land Classification series of England and Wales and are of the Hanslope soil series. The Hanslope soils are described as slowly permeable calcareous clayey soils; this soil is most suitable for growing winter cereal crops and some grassland.
Overage
The land is being sold subject to a 30% overage for a term of 30 years, to be triggered by the implementation of planning permission (or deemed planning permission) or permitted development rights for any development other than agricultural or equestrian use, payable within 1 month of the implementation of such relevant permission.
