Description
Approximately 51.68 acres of permanent pastureland, split into six enclosures, with potential for development
Description - The property extends to approximately 51.68 acres of permanent pastureland, split into six enclosures, with a 15m x 7.5m Dutch barn and a dilapidated brick and tile building of approximately 80sq.m. The buildings may have potential for conversion to residential or commercial uses, subject to gaining the necessary planning consents.
The land is generally flat and level with a gentle slope down towards the watercourse which runs through the middle. The land is classified as Grade 3 on the Agricultural Land Classification Map and according to the Soil Map of England and Wales, the soil is a loamy clayey soil of the Whimple 3 series.
We understand that the majority of the land has been grazed and cut for hay in the past, although not in the 2024 season.
The land lies in Blaby District. The land to the immediate north of the farm is in the Hinckley and Bosworth District and has been identified in their emerging Local Plan as a potential site for up to 2,000 houses.
The land may also be suitable for Biodiversity Net Gain, tree planting or other environmental uses, either instead of or alongside agriculture or development.
Location - The land is situated on the edge of the village of Elmesthorpe, approximately 1.5 miles to the south of Earl Shilton and 4 miles to the northeast of Hinckley. Access to the land is off Spinney Farm Close via The Roundhills from the B581 Station Road.
Junction 2 of the M69 is approximately 3.5 miles to the south, providing convenient access to the A5, M1 and further afield.
Local Authority - Blaby District Council
Services - We understand that the buildings are connected to mains water and electricity. Purchasers should make their own enquiries as to the availability and adequacy of services.
Method Of Sale - The property will be sold by private treaty.
Overage Clause - The property will be sold with an overage clause which will reserve 30% of any uplift in value attributed to any change of use or planning permission on the land for a period of 30 years. For the avoidance of doubt, the overage clause will not be triggered by any agricultural, private equestrian or forestry uses.
