Off Sporton Lane, South Normanton, DE55

Land size
5.64 acres

Description

An exceptional parcel of well-established pasture extending to approximately 5.643 acres (2.284 hectares), idyllically situated off Sporton Lane on the edge of South Normanton, just a short distance from the junction with Carr Lane. Occupying a private, tranquil position that seamlessly combines rural privacy with suburban convenience, this highly versatile block of grazing land presents a rare opportunity for equestrian users, smallholders, and amenity buyers.

The land features a distinct 'P-shaped' layout-providing a controlled, sheltered entrance neck that opens out into a broad, expansive main pasture. Held by the same family for three generations, it has been well-maintained as reliable seasonal pasture for over 75 years, including over two decades of annual summer horse grazing (April to October). While enjoying a peaceful rural setting, the site benefits from superior regional connectivity, positioned just minutes from South Normanton town centre and within 1.5 miles of Junction 28 of the M1 motorway and the A38 dual carriageway.

Basic Payment Scheme and Environmental Schemes: It is understood that the subject land is not registered on the Rural Land Register and no Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) entitlements are included in the sale. The land is not currently subject to any Countryside Stewardship, Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI), or other agri-environmental agreements.

Rights of way, Wayleaves and Easements: The property is sold subject to, and with the benefit of, all existing rights of way, easements, quasi-easements, wayleaves, and covenants, whether declared or undeclared. For the avoidance of doubt, there are no public rights of way or footpaths crossing the land itself.

Access: Situated just a short distance off Sporton Lane at the junction with Carr Lane, the land is accessed via an established right of way along the wide public footpath access track, leading to a secure seven-bar gated entrance. The entrance comfortably accommodates standard agricultural machinery, horseboxes, and livestock trailers.

Services: A mains water supply runs through the land. Prospective purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries regarding new connections, metering, and supply capabilities. Please contact the marketing agents for further details.

Viewing: The site may be partially viewed from the public footpath frontage at Sporton Lane. For full on-site access and interior inspections, viewings are strictly by appointment only through the sole selling agents. To arrange an appointment, please contact Savidge & Brown on (Option 2).

Directions and Location (Sat Nav): For satellite navigation systems, please use postcode: DE55 2DN. The land and access point down the public footpath off Sporton Lane will be clearly identified by a Savidge & Brown 'For Sale' board.

Offer Procedure: Before contacting a Bank, Building Society, or Solicitor, all offers must be submitted directly to Savidge & Brown. We strongly advise making your offer promptly to the staff member handling the sale, as any delay may result in the property being agreed to another purchaser, potentially causing unnecessary legal or financial costs.
