Water and electricity are on site, and the land is sold with vacant possession on completion, making it an appealing opportunity for those interested in securing land of the paddock type at auction. Land of this size with a private road entrance and services is hard to find in the Vale of Aylesbury. It suits grazing, horses, a smallholding, or anyone who wants to own a substantial piece of countryside between Aylesbury and Leighton Buzzard. It will be offered at our London property auction at Claridge's on 14 December 2026, and offers before the auction are welcome. Undoubtedly, finding paddock land through auction of this quality is a rare occurrence.

The Land

The land is reached through a field gate directly off the A418, which opens onto a hardstanding area and track. Beyond it are gently rising paddocks of permanent pasture, divided by post-and-wire fencing with internal gates and enclosed by mature hedges and trees. The present owner has farmed the land, and it is currently grazed by sheep. Notably, many buyers seek paddock land offered at auction in this area because of the care taken to maintain its quality. Water and electricity are on site. The land is held under two registered freehold titles, BM374807 and BM374809, which are being sold together as one lot. The area of about 7.6 acres has been measured from mapping and will be confirmed against the title plans in the legal pack. Buyers can check the registered titles through HM Land Registry.

Planning

The land is sold without planning permission and is currently used for grazing. Any change of use, or any building, structure, caravan or mobile home, would need planning permission. Buyers should make their own enquiries of Buckinghamshire Council's planning department before bidding. No warranty is given as to the prospect of any consent. For those looking into paddock land for auction, it is essential to consider these factors.

Location

Wingrave Cross Roads is on the A418 in the Vale of Aylesbury, about a mile west of the village of Wingrave, which has a pub, shop, primary school and recreation ground.

Guide Prices

A guide price (to include a range of prices), is not an indication of the anticipated eventual selling price or a valuation; it is an indication of the minimum price ( “the Reserve” ) at which (or range of prices within which) the seller might be prepared to sell. The eventual sale price can and frequently does, exceed the guide price.

Where a range is given, the Reserve will sit within that range and will not exceed the top end of the range. Where a single figure Guide Price is given, the Reserve will be within 10%, upwards or downwards, of that figure.

The guide price may be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction. The latest published guide price (or range of prices) is displayed on our website, and you should check the website regularly for updates and on the day of the auction.

All guide prices are quoted “subject to contract”.

Please note the guide price for the Lot does not include: – any Buyers’ Fee charged by the auctioneers; – VAT on the sale price; – SDLT or any other Government taxes.

Additional costs and fees charged by the seller or third parties that might apply to some Lots and/or some buyers.

If a guide price is listed as “TBA”, it means no guide price has been set at present. Please do call our office about this. The guide price, or range of prices, will be published online immediately it becomes available and you should check the auction website regularly for updates and on the day of the auction.

Reserve Prices

The reserve price is the minimum price at which the Lot can be sold.

Whilst every effort is made to ensure that the advertised guide prices are up to date. it is possible that the reserve price set for any Lot may exceed the previously quoted guide price. This is because the seller may fix the final reserve price just before the Lot is offered for sale and you should check the website regularly for updates and on the day of the auction.
