Elston Lane Shrewton, SP3

An excellent chance to acquire a block of 16.68 acres of pastureland, which has received confirmed planning approval for a 10m x 15m agricultural building.

Situation
The land at Elston Farm is located in the hamlet of Elston, positioned on the northern boundary of the highly desirable chalk stream village of Shrewton. This vibrant village boasts an exceptional array of local amenities.

Local transport links are excellent, with the A303 readily accessible to the southwest and London via the M3 motorway. Salisbury, just 12 miles to the South has a mainline train station that connects to London Waterloo in approximately 85 minutes.

The Land
The land is classified as Grade 3 according to the provisional agricultural land classification by Natural England. Both paddocks feature biodiverse grassland and are presently enrolled in a sustainable farming incentive agreement. The land has been used for equestrian and sheep grazing. The fields are enclosed by fencing and offer convenient roadside access from both the northeast and northwest sides.

The soil is characterised as well-draining, lime-rich loamy soils that are conducive to herb-rich chalk and limestone pastures. The grassland features mature trees interspersed throughout, with some boundaries lined by established hedgerows.

Planning
The decision letter from Wiltshire Council has been confirmed, stating the approval for the construction of an agricultural barn measuring 10m x 15m intended for farm machinery, along with a concrete pad of dimensions 12m x 20m. The planning reference for this project is PL/2026/02509.

Designations
The land is situated within the Salisbury Plain and West Wiltshire Downs National Character Area.

The land is situated within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone.

Services
A communal private borehole supplies water to both paddocks through water troughs. (Metered rates would apply)

Overage
The land will be sold with an overage provision applicable to future development. This provision will not cover agricultural, horticultural, or equestrian developments. The overage will remain in effect for 10 years from the completion date, applying to 30% of any value increase resulting from the granting of planning permission.
