Versatile Arable Land at Epworth, North Lincolnshire

Description

The land lies to the south west of the market town of Epworth, within the Isle of Axholme, in North Lincolnshire.

The land is offered for sale by informal tender as a whole or in two lots (Lot 1 offers over £30,000 and Lot 2 offers over £25,000).

The land is all classified as being Grade 3 on Sheet 104 of the Provisional Agricultural Land Classification Maps of England and Wales as historically published by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.

The Soil Survey of England and Wales identifies the soils for Lot 1 as being entirely from the "Newport 1" Association with their characteristics described as "deep well drained and coarse loamy soils" and as suitable for "cereals, sugar beet and potatoes". The soils for Lot 2 are similarly identified as being primarily from the same Association but with some also from the "Dunnington Heath" Association with their characteristics described as "reddish coarse and fine loamy over clayey soils" and with the balance being from the "Isleham 2" Association with their characteristics described as "deep permeable sandy and peaty soils" and as both also as suitable for "cereals, sugar beet and potatoes".

The land is owned freehold and it is being sold with the benefit of vacant possession.

All of the land is registered on the Rural Payments Agency Rural Land Register and was historically used to activate entitlements under the Basic Payment Scheme.

The relevant LPIS maps are available upon request from the Selling Agents. Purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of this information. Any statement within these sale particulars is given in good father but carries no warranty.

There will be no tenant right payable, nor will there by any consideration or allowance made whatsoever for any dilapidations or any other deductions.

Early entry onto the land will be permitted, prior to completion, to carry out acts of husbandry and crop establishment, subject to an exchange of contracts and the payment of a double deposit.

The land has not been within an arable cropping rotation for a number of years, believed to be in excess of ten.

The sale price is agreed on a VAT exclusive basis and the Purchaser(s) shall indemnify the Vendor for any VAT which may subsequently be payable.

All of the land lies within a designated Nitrate Vulnerable Zone.

There are two Cadent gas pipelines crossing Lot 2. The land is sold subject to any rights of way, reservation of minerals, water, drainage, sporting rights, other easements and wayleaves and all rights of access whether mentioned in these sales particulars or not.
