Whitehouse Farm, Little Sampford, CB10

Land size
395.05 acres

Description

A single ring-fenced block of land with about 395.05 acres (159.88 ha) of productive arable farmland, predominantly classified as Grade 2 by DEFRA - with a small area of Grade 3 at the southern edge of the farm - being of the Hanslope soil series of England and Wales (slowly permeable calcareous clayey soils) and the Ludford series (well-drained loamy soils over gravel), both well-suited to high-yielding combinable crops.

The land is laid out in large, easily worked fields, well-suited to modern arable machinery and benefiting from access via the private farm drive, together with public highway access off Finchingfield Road (B1053) and Maynard Lane, and internal farm tracks running through the holding.

The land benefits from an established drainage system which has been maintained and progressively improved over the years. Drainage records are available upon request.

The land is currently let to E W Davies on a Farm Business Tenancy at a passing rent of £51,958 per annum. Notice has been served and vacant possession will be available at Michaelmas 2026. The current tenant has expressed a desire to continue farming the holding and would consider entering into discussions with a prospective purchaser regarding a new farming arrangement. Further details are available from the vendors' agents.
