Massive farmland near Warminster on sale for £4.75 million

The land at Deptford Farm, in the Wylye Valley to the south east of the Wiltshire town, spans around 446 acres of arable and pasture farmland and woodland and is on the market for £4.75 million.

The site is being marketed by Symonds and Sampson, who highlight the site’s “lime-rich loamy soils over chalk or limestone” alongside the “excellent sporting appeal".

According to the property’s listing on Rightmove, the land is classified as grade three, with some areas as grade two, “producing high yielding, high quality crops.”

The land is interspersed with woodlands, and also has a pasture valley that includes nine “well-established sporting drives, and supports a highly diverse ecological environment.”

The woodland is divided into three distinct blocks, a design which facilitates shooting and sporting activities. Alongside with the woodland and the farm’s rolling landscape, the nine “drives” help create an “exceptional shoot”.

The land’s shoots operate as a part of a “broader collaboration with a nearby landowner. The agents add that while the sporting rights are included in the sale, the present owners are retaining the 2026 to 2027 season to “satisfy the current lease”.

Regarding access and easements on the land, they also add: “A personal right of way will be retained for the current owner and their immediate family to traverse the land on foot.”

In terms of the agricultural offering, the land has been “expertly maintained” and produces high-quality crops.

The listing continues: “The arable land is currently managed in a contract farming agreement with the neighbouring landowner, resulting in clean and high-yield crops that have been skilfully cultivated.

“The cropping rotations are strategically planned to preserve soil health, generally incorporating wheat, barley, oilseed, and oats, all of which achieve and produce premium quality.

“For many years, variable rate fertiliser applications have been employed, leading to soils that demonstrate elevated levels of organic matter and a balanced pH throughout all parcels.”

In addition to the agricultural and sporting offering, the land also contains two operational telecommunications masts and a redundant mast under existing leases.

The property has a private water supply, with a borehole and a reservoir on site. The supply services the cottages in Deptford, and land on the western boundary.
