For sale as a whole freehold with vacant possession given upon completion.

Location - The land is situated off the main road which passes through the village of Shutlanger. Shutlanger itself lies approximately 3.5 miles east of the market town of Towcester and 10 miles south of Northampton, both offering a wide variety of local and amenity services. Towcester benefits from direct access to the A43 and A5, which gives access to the wider road network, with Junction 15 of the M1 approximately 5 miles north-east. Northampton has a mainline rail station providing direct access to London and the wider rail network.

The location is shown on the plan.

Description - The land is a single enclosure of arable land which extends to 18.14 acres (7.34 hectares) in total or thereabouts, with well-defined mature hedgerow and tree boundaries throughout and stock-proof fencing creating a boundary between the adjoining landowner to the east. The parcel has previously been cropped under rotation, with a maize crop being harvested earlier this autumn and currently remains fallow.

Access to the land is direct off the public highway known as Main Road which passes through Shutlanger village.

According to Natural England, the land is classified as Grade 3 on the Agricultural Land Classification Maps, being slowly permeable seasonally wet slightly acidic but base rich loamy and clayey soils with high fertility.

The property is available as a whole.
