Hindon, Salisbury

123.45 acres (49.96 hectares) of productive arable and pasture land

Situation - The land is situated on the beautiful West Wiltshire rolling chalk downlands enjoying stunning panoramic views. Located on the edge of the popular village of Hindon, each lot benefits from access off council-maintained highways. The land is particularly accessible from the north, south, east and west with the A303 and A350 both within 1 mile. Additionally, there is a good network of bridleways and footpaths, including the Wessex Ridgeway adjoining the land for a buyer seeking to set up equestrian or leisure activities.

Description - Productive level and undulating Seaford Chalk soil classified Grade 3 on the ALC. Most of the land is in arable rotation and currently sown to Maize. 30 acres of Lot 1 is a pretty valley of permanent pasture whilst Lot 2 is arable reversion.

The land also offers natural capital opportunities (subject to formal assessment). The southern part of Lot 1 offers a potential restoration opportunity and the remainder could create or enhance other types of habitats including the delivery of suitable Green Infrastructure. The land is adjacent to land with recognised development potential and could support future development through the provision of Biodiversity Net Gain units and Nutrient Neutrality (nitrate) credits.

Services - A Wessex Water reservoir adjoins Lot 3 and mains pipes are located in the lane between Lots 1 and 3. The land is not currently connected. There is also an abandoned private supply pump house in Lot 1. Cross easements will be reserved across each lot to connect to water.

Designations - The land is in the Cranborne Chase & West Wiltshire Downs National Landscape (formerly AONB) and a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone. A bridleway crosses 0513 in Lot 1 and a footpath follows the southern boundary of Lot 4.

Covenants - The property may be used for agricultural, woodland and equestrian purposes only. The construction of agricultural/equestrian buildings and infrastructure would be permitted under the terms of the covenant. The construction of dwelling houses would not be permitted under the covenant (even if consented under agricultural, forestry or equestrian occupancy conditions).

Lot 4 will be sold with an overage clause whereby the vendor will receive 30% of any uplift in value for a period of 20 years should planning permission be granted for residential and commercial use. This will exclude agricultural and equestrian use.

Tenure - Freehold with vacant possession. Completion will occur by 16th October 2024. Holdover is required to 30th November 2024 to harvest the maize crops.
