Two blocks of farmland have gone up for sale in Suffolk as agents suggest the land market is continuing to perform strongly.

Clarke and Simpson is marketing a block of nearly 174 acres at Sweffling, near Framlingham, and nearly 60 acres at Rishangles, near Debenham.

The Rishangles plot has a guide price of £560k and the land at Poplar Farm, Sweffling, has a guide of £1,655,000.

The Sweffling block lies in the Alde Valley and enjoys "beautiful" views across Sweffling, towards Rendham and Benhall, say the agents.

It is classified as Grade 3 and is rich loamy and clay soil. It has been farmed in hand under a contract farm arrangement and the contract farmer has indicated they would be happy to continue to farm the land for the purchasers.

It is being sold in four lots - with prices ranging from £115k to £795k. The middle two lots have guides of £255k and £490k.

The Rishangles plot is being sold in two lots with guide prices of £190k and £370k.

The properties consist entirely of bare land and are being offered for sale freehold and by private treaty.

Clarke and Simpson partner Oliver Holloway said the farmland market was performing strongly - but prices can vary.

"The land at Poplar Farm, Sweffling, comprises a productive block of Grade 3 arable land extending to some 174 acres, enjoying a most attractive setting, within the Alde Valley," he said.

"The land consists of arable, grassland and woodland and is available as a whole or in up to four lots with a guide price of £1.655m.

“The land at Rishangles, near Eye, totals 62 acres, comprising two productive arable fields and is being offered for sale with a guide price of £580,000."

He added: “Clarke & Simpson have seen some strong activity in the land market through the first half of 2024.

"Despite signs of slower growth over the summer months, the land market in East Anglia remains surprisingly robust and there continues to be a lack of supply to match regional demand.

"We are however seeing a greater disparity of values than we have for some time."
