+ GFW are delighted to present to the market an excellent opportunity to acquire 56.40 acres (22.82 hectares) of high-quality agricultural land, located on the edge of the attractive rural village of Hornby, approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) north-west of Bedale.

The land offers flexible cropping options, excellent access, and productive, well-structured soils suitable for a wide range of arable and forage crops.

This is an appealing acquisition for farmers, investors, and those seeking to expand or establish an agricultural enterprise in this desirable part of North Yorkshire.

The holding extends in total to 56.40 acres (22.82 hectares) of arable land, divided into three well-proportioned fields. The land is classified as Grade 3 under the Agricultural Land Classification, representing good quality, versatile agricultural land capable of supporting a wide range of cropping options.

The soils are understood to comprise freely draining loams over limestone and sandstone, characteristic of the area, which provide excellent workability and strong yield potential.

The land has recently been used for temporary grass leys for silage production but is equally well-suited to cereal and root cropping or mixed forage rotations. Its flexibility and structure offer opportunities for a range of modern cropping systems, including combinable crops, maize, or specialist horticultural enterprises.

Access
The land benefits from a well-maintained stone access track leading directly from the public highway, providing excellent access to all three fields for modern agricultural machinery and vehicles.

This practical and secure access arrangement enhances the efficiency of day-to-day operations and adds significant appeal to the property.

Boundaries
The land is bounded mainly by mature hedgerows, which provide shelter, privacy, and biodiversity value, along with post-and-wire fencing where appropriate. The well-defined field boundaries contribute to ease of management and enhance the aesthetic appeal of the holding within its rural setting.

Environmental Land Management
The land is not currently subject to any Environmental Land Management (ELM) agreements or stewardship schemes. This provides a new owner with full flexibility to enter future environmental schemes or adopt sustainable management practices in line with their own objectives.

Given the field layout and landscape features, the holding may offer good potential for participation in future agri-environment or carbon-related schemes should a buyer wish to explore such opportunities.

Holdover
The vendor reserves the right of holdover to harvest any crops not removed by the date of completion of the sale (if and when applicable).

Mine and Mineral Rights
It is understood that the mines and mineral rights are excluded from the sale.

Public Rights of Way
There are no known rights of way over the land.

Tenure & Possession
The land is sold freehold with vacant possession upon completion.
