Description - The land at Shearsby comprises a single block of productive agricultural land extending to approximately 78.24 acres (31.66 hectares) with cattle handing pens.

The land is conveniently positioned on the edge of the village of Shearsby off Bruntingthorpe Road with far reaching views across the surrounding areas.

The land is being offered for sale as a whole.

The land is split into five main enclosures bound by mature hedgerows and trees throughout with three points of access and road frontage. There is a small brook running through the middle of the block and the land is gently undulating down towards this. The land is classified as Grade 3 land with a soil type described as slowly permeable, with a slightly acid but base-rich loamy and clayey soil. The land is currently part of an arable cereal cropping rotation and is sown with winter wheat. The past four years of cropping include wheat, maize, and temporary grass.

Rural Land Register & Sfi - The land is registered with the Rural Land Register, and the fields will be transferred to the purchaser upon completion from the vendor. The vendors will retain the historic element of the Basic Payment Scheme (if any).

The land is currently subject to an SFI agreement with hedgerow management obligations and no-till farming over the land. As the rules of the scheme do not allow for this to be transferred to a new owner, this agreement will be terminated by the vendor upon completion.

Tenure And Possession - The intention is to exchange and complete as soon as practically possible. Vacant possession will be given upon completion.

Fixtures & Fittings - Only those items specifically mentioned in these sale particulars are included within the sale. The other items are specifically excluded.

Services - There is a mains water supply at two points and a spring fed water trough in addition to this. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to test the availability and capacity of the supply for the purpose required.

Method Of Sale - The property is sold as Title Numbers: LT249902, LT251340, LT254774, LT259817, and LT256286 (may split).

Please note the filed numbers quoted may not match the RPA field numbers. The plan is for identification purposes only.

The plan, area and description are believed to be correct in every way, but no claim will be entertained by the vendor or the agents in respect of any error, omissions or misdescriptions.

Overage Clause - An overage clause will be included within the sale contract, reserving 30% of any increase in value due to any non-agricultural or non-equestrian development in relation to the land, that takes place within a period of 30 years from the date of the sale, triggered upon implementation of planning, sale or long lease.

Sporting, Timber And Mineral Rights - All rights are believed to be held with the freehold owner and will be included within the sale of the land.

Easements, Wayleaves And Rights Of Way - There are no overhead or underground services to note over the land. There are two public rights of way crossing the land over footpaths: LT|Leicestershire|Y73/2 and LT|Leicestershire|Y72/1.

It is assumed that the property benefits from all necessary rights of way, easements and wayleaves for services and access.

Anti Money Laundering Regulations - Under the Money Laundering Directive (S12017/692) we are required under due diligence as set up under HMRC to take full identification (e.g. photo ID and recent utility bill as proof of address). When a potential purchaser submits an offer for a property, please be aware of this and have the information available.
