Description
Description
Arable Land at Oakerthorpe (205.23 ACRES / 83.05 HECTARES)
This block of productive farmland comprises a run of well-shaped arable fields lying immediately west of the A38 and east of Millstone Lane. The land is accessed from Millstone Lane and the B6016. A central farm track runs through the land allowing for good access to all fields.
The land extends to 205.23 acres (83.04 hectares) and is arranged in good field sizes with an effective internal track network running through the land, making it an efficient block for modern arable operations. Within this northern section there are 176.78 acres (71.54 hectares) of arable and 24.14 acres (9.76 hectares) of woodland and scrub which provide shelter and widen the amenity of the land.
The land is predominantly classified as grade 4 on the agricultural land classification with a small area of grade 3. The land has benefitted from improvement with direct drilling commonly undertaken and plenty of farm yard manure applied to the land.
Location
Further amenities are available in Heanor, Belper, Alfreton and Eastwood, while the larger centres of Derby (13 miles) and Nottingham (15 miles) offer extensive commercial, educational and leisure facilities.
The surrounding countryside is gently undulating and characterised by productive arable fields, pasture, hedgerows and mature woodland. This landscape provides both an attractive setting and practical working conditions for mixed farming, with open areas and sheltered valleys lending themselves well to grazing and modern cultivation.
Despite the rural location, transport links are excellent. The A38 is close by, providing direct access to the M1 motorway at Junctions 26 and 28, enabling efficient travel to Derby, Nottingham, Sheffield, Leicester and the wider Midlands. The A610 gives quick connections to Ripley and Eastwood, while the A6 provides a direct route to Matlock and the Peak District. Mainline rail services are available at Langley Mill, Alfreton and Belper, offering regular connections to Derby, Nottingham and further afield. East Midlands Airport is approximately 30 minutes drive, providing domestic and international travel options.
