Description

The Land at Vane Court is situated to the north east of Biddenden within the Low Weald. The land extends to a total of 55.07 acres and is classified as Grade III on the agricultural land classification plan for England and Wales.

The 2024/2025 cropping year saw the land cropped with Maize (31.21 acres) and a Grass Ley (23.86 acres). The Grass Ley is now going into its third year for 2025/2026 and the plan is for the Maize area to be planted with a first Winter Wheat. If a buyer would like vacant possession on completion of the sale, the Vendor must be paid for the cost of establishment of the crop until the day of completion. Alternatively, his contractor is happy to continue to farm the land through to harvest 2026.

In addition to the Maize crop and the Grass Ley, there are a number of Wealden ponds and woodland shaws throughout providing opportunities for various options through stewardship, SFI and / or Biodiversity Net Gain. The land has been well farmed in arable rotations for several years and is not entered into any schemes to date.

The land will be subject to a restrictive covenant in favour of the owner of Vane Court for no building or mobile homes on the land without the owner's consent. In addition, there will be an Overage Agreement in place for any development excluding agricultural for 30% over a 25 year period. This is to include the sale of any Biodiversity Net Gain Units. There will also be a pre-emption right in favour of Vane Court.

Access is directly from the Smarden Road to the north via a gated entrance that adjoins the public highway. A secondary access is also available to the south.

There are no services directly connected to the property. Our understanding is mains services run down the Smarden Road.

Offers for part will be considered.
