A major block of farmland spanning 330 acres has been put up for sale with a guide price of £3.7 million.
Located off Staverton Road and situated in the hamlet of Woolley Green, the land is just north of Bradford on Avon and close to the village of Holt.
It is being marketed as a rare opportunity to acquire a large, productive arable holding in a desirable and accessible part of the West Country.
The land forms a single, ring-fenced parcel and is being offered in two lots.
Lot one covers approximately 235 acres and includes planning consent for a new farmyard with a grain store, inputs building, access track, and hard standing.
Lot two comprises around 95.5 acres of bare arable land divided into five fields.

The land is described as predominantly Grade 3, with a seam of Grade 2 running along the northern edge of lot one.
Most of the soil is clay, while the southern part of lot one features lime-rich soil over chalk and limestone.
The fields are separated by mature hedgerows and laid out in enclosures suitable for modern farming equipment.
The land is subject to environmental agreements that the purchaser will be required to take on.
An SFI (Sustainable Farming Incentive) agreement began on June 1 and runs until May 31, 2027.
It splits the land between legume fallow and flower-rich plots.
A Mid-Tier Countryside Stewardship Agreement also applies, running from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2028.

In lot one, most of the land is managed under the SFI 2024 scheme and designated as 'Legume Fallow' (NUM3).
A small part of the Countryside Stewardship Scheme affects about four acres in the form of grass and buffer strips.
Planning permission for the new farmyard was granted on June 12.
The proposed grain store will measure 30.5m by 24.4m (100ft by 80ft) with an eaves height of 7.5m.
It will be constructed from pre-cast concrete panels with olive green profiled cladding and a fibre cement roof.
The design includes three roller shutter doors on the north elevation, providing three separate grain bays.
An implement store is also planned, measuring 18.3m by 12.2m (60ft by 30ft) with an eaves height of about 5m.
It will be built using similar materials as the grain store.
Both lots are offered with vacant possession and are being sold by private treaty.
The land lies outside a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone but falls within the Bath and Bristol Green Belt.
It is located in a sought-after area close to the National Trust property The Courts Garden in Holt, and Great Chalfield Manor.
Prospective buyers are advised to make their own enquiries regarding services.
The sale represents a substantial investment opportunity in commercial agriculture with the added benefit of planning permission for new infrastructure.
The incoming purchaser will be required to indemnify the vendor against any future claims relating to the environmental schemes currently in place.
The agent handling the sale said: "This is a rare opportunity to acquire a significant block of commercial arable land in a highly desirable and accessible location, with the benefit of planning consent for a new farmyard and grain storage facilities.
"The land is well laid out, with good access and potential for further development, subject to the existing agreements and planning consents.
"We expect strong interest from both farming businesses and investors."
