Sell a paddock or equestrian land in Cirencester
Whether your land is in Cirencester itself or in the villages between Cirencester and Stroud, we'll look at it properly before making any offer.
Paddock land is a small enclosed field used for grazing or keeping horses, often close to houses. Paddocks next to villages and towns can have development potential, which is why they often sell for more than ordinary grazing land.

- Grazing land with a gate onto a public road
- Paddocks with stables, field shelters or hardstanding

If you no longer keep horses, or simply want to release capital, we can look at your paddock and tell you whether it has value beyond grazing.
What decides the value of paddock land near Cirencester
Access width
Access needs to be wide enough for a road if homes are to be built.
Existing buildings
Stables and hardstanding may count as previously developed land in some cases.
Drainage
Paddocks without mains drainage nearby can be costly to connect.
Amenity value
Without a planning prospect, neighbours may pay a premium for a paddock adjoining their garden.
Choosing how to sell
Outright purchase
A clean sale reflecting grazing and any hope value.
Subject-to-planning sale
We complete once homes are approved on the paddock.
Option agreements
Useful where the paddock could form part of a wider site.

Planning and legal points for land in Gloucestershire
Planning framework
Planning decisions in England follow the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026, and the local plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. Plans are reviewed periodically, which is when new housing sites are usually allocated.
Farm tenancies
Agricultural Holdings Act tenancies and farm business tenancies have their own notice and compensation rules, which affect when land can be developed.
Land registration
Land in England is registered with HM Land Registry. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold, which your solicitor arranges.
Awkward details we deal with
The only access is a narrow track
We measure what's there and see if it can be widened or combined with neighbouring land.
You still keep horses on part of it
We can look at buying part of the land and leaving you the rest, with access protected.
Useful to send us
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Your title number, if you know it
- Photos of the land and its access
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
Your questions answered
Is my paddock worth more than agricultural land?
Often, because paddocks are close to houses. How much more depends on access, planning policy and whether homes could realistically be built.
Will you buy the stables too?
Yes. We buy the whole site as it stands, including buildings and fencing, unless you'd like to keep something.
What if the paddock is landlocked?
Landlocked paddocks are worth less, but can still be valuable to an adjoining owner or as part of a wider scheme.
Do you buy land in Cirencester?
Yes. We consider land in and around Cirencester and across Gloucestershire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
