Land for Sale Ilkeston, Derbyshire

Why buy land for sale in Ilkeston, Derbyshire?

Just over 30 acres of agricultural land for sale as a whole or in lots suitable for paddock conversion. The site has access to the open countryside through a network of well maintained footpaths and bridleways.

This rural setting conceals the fact that the land is perfectly placed between Derby and Nottingham, with excellent transport links and just 3 miles from Ilkeston town centre. Ilkeston is the third largest town in Derbyshire and is undergoing growth and regeneration, such as the large development at New Stanton.

With rising land values offering a good investment, this growth and development could be seen to add some additional development hope value to the land.

In the main, the land is bordered by mature hedgerow providing a secure environment for your horse or livestock. The site benefits from superb access off a private driveway. From here all lots have full vehicular access.

The ongoing global economic woes, which look likely to persist for the foreseeable future, will only act to strengthen farmland’s position as a ‘safe haven’ for investors . Even in these uncertain economic times, the performance of farmland is comparable with that of gold and oil – all being recognised as hedges against inflation.

Development in the Area

The land lies just over 3 miles from the former Stanton Ironworks site which has been identified in the Erewash Core Strategy as a potential Sustainable Urban Extension to Ilkeston for housing development.

The redevelopment will create a new 500 acre village and will be the biggest development Erewash has ever seen. The development will bring forward around 3,000 new homes in a single walkable neighbourhood. Plans also include two primary schools, a hotel and conference centre, restaurants, pubs, doctors’ surgeries, two shopping areas and several acres of landscaped parks and lakes.

A range of employment opportunities across retail, services, office and light industrial use will be created within the development, providing a place for people to live and work, complementing the existing jobs market within Ilkeston and taking advantage of the position of the new community on the arc between Derby and Nottingham.

Up to 3,000 jobs will be provided within the development with potential for future growth.

These development proposals will be well-linked to Ilkeston and surrounding areas through pedestrian and cycle routes as well as vehicular and public transport routes.

The new community will have a knock-on benefit into the local economy through inward investment, direct spend and local suppliers. We would estimate approximately £60m will be injected into the local economy per annum.

Due to its substantial population there are also renewed plans to re-build the train station at Ilkeston. This has received massive public backing and also has support from local MP Liz Blackman saying Derbyshire County Council is looking at a multi-million pound scheme, with the station possibly opening within three years.

On the eastern side of Ilkeston, greenbelt sites in Broxtowe will still have to be developed on despite the Government reducing Labour’s housing targets. Ahead of the General Election, the Tories said they would scrap plans to build about 5,700 houses in Broxtowe between now and 2026. But even if the new government reduces the figure to 3,700 houses - there are still not enough Brownfield sites to accommodate them and greenbelt will still have to be used.

RICS Rural Land Market Survey H1 2011

The latest RICS Rural Land Market Survey reports that farmland prices increased by 16% in the last year, reaching an all-time high in H1 2011. Farmland prices in the East Midlands increased by 10% in the first half of 2011 alone. Over the next twelve months, surveyors expect farmland prices to continue rising strongly.

Equestrian & Leisure

Derbyshire is renowned for its breathtaking countryside ideal for equestrian activities. The county is scattered with equestrian centres and riding schools to accommodate the needs of the horse enthusiast.

The local countryside makes the perfect backdrop for any outdoor activity especially horse riding pursuits. These can be enjoyed on the quiet country roads or along the many bridleways that are on offer in the vicinity such as that which crosses the countryside between Stanley Grange and Hagg Farm.

Shipley Country Park is just over 2 miles from the site and covers over 650 acres of attractive and varied landscape with lots to see and do. The park contains 20 miles of quiet paths and bridleways providing opportunities for walking, cycling and horse riding. There are areas of woodland, a reservoir and several smaller areas of open water and a patchwork of grassland meadows. These habitats encourage a rich diversity of wildlife.

The St Leonards Riding School and Breaston Equestrian Centre are the closest and most-established riding centres to the land. They provide a full range of facilities and services for both the novice rider and the senior competitor. Facilities include livery yards, show jumping paddocks, dressage arenas, experienced instructors and both indoor and outdoor arenas.

The nearby Attenborough Nature Centre is an award winning facility surrounded by the tranquil waters of its beautiful nature reserve. The centre covers 145 hectares and provides an ideal habitat for a wide range of plants, birds and other wildlife.

A substantial portion of the Peak District National Park lies within Derbyshire close to the land. With an estimated 22 million visitors per year, the Peak District is thought to be the second most-visited national park in the world.

The area provides opportunities for many types of outdoor activity. An extensive network of public footpaths (over 1,800 miles in total), as well as large open-access areas, are available for hillwalking and hiking. It is home to a number of horse riding trails providing both short and long distance treks that provide stunning views of the park.

Some of the area’s large reservoirs have become centres for water sports, including sailing, fishing and canoeing. Other activities include air sports such as hang gliding and paragliding, birdwatching, fell running, off-roading, and orienteering.
