Description

Land at Wilby comprises approximately 170.64 acres of arable fields, permanent grassland, water meadows, woodland and water in a rural Norfolk setting. The holding is offered by private treaty as a whole or in up to two lots. Lot 1 extends to about 10.71 acres and includes the site of a former farmhouse, an adjoining old orchard and surrounding grassland. The former farmhouse site and orchard cover approximately 3.07 acres and may offer scope for redevelopment, amenity or lifestyle use, subject to the necessary consents. Access is from Wilby Road. Lot 2 comprises approximately 159.93 acres, including around 85.48 acres of arable land arranged in three fields, alongside grassland and water meadows, woodland, water and internal tracks. The land is currently farmed in a crop rotation, while the grassland is used for sheep grazing under a seasonal licence. Access is from Church Road. The land is classified as Grade 3 and Grade 4 and includes Coombe 1 soils. Environmental enhancement opportunities are described, including wetland and meadow restoration, grassland creation, planting and riparian buffers; any scheme would require specialist assessment and relevant consents. The holding is subject to a Countryside Stewardship Mid-Tier agreement ending in December 2028 and two Sustainable Farming Incentive agreements ending in January 2027. The stated guide prices are £210,000 for Lot 1 and £1,040,000 for Lot 2, with offers invited in the region of £1,250,000 for the whole.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

45out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is primarily a substantial rural land holding rather than a house-led renovation project: the former farmhouse site and adjoining orchard offer an amenity or redevelopment canvas, subject to the necessary consents. The wider holding combines productive arable land, grassland, water meadows, woodland and hedgerows, with access from Wilby Road and Church Road; the listing also identifies scope for environmental enhancement, subject to surveys, design and consents.

The score is 45/100 (E, Low Opportunity), with limited economics data rather than a judgement that the price is dear. Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot be judged, and the farmhouse itself is not clearly shown in the photos, leaving its condition unassessed.

Key opportunities

  • Explore the former farmhouse site and adjoining orchard as an amenity or potential redevelopment project, subject to consents.
  • Use the mix of arable fields, permanent grassland, water meadows and established woodland for continued agricultural use or a tailored land-management plan.
  • Consider wetland, meadow, woodland and hedgerow enhancement, subject to specialist survey, scheme design and consents.
