Sell a paddock or equestrian land in Tewkesbury
Our interest in paddock land around Tewkesbury is simple: we're buying land to build homes on, so we look for sites where homes are realistic and price them on that basis.
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.

What decides the value of paddock land near Tewkesbury
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.

Useful where the paddock could form part of a wider site.
Joint ventures

What England's rules mean for your land
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.
When the land isn't straightforward
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
- The address or postcode
- Your title number, if you know it
- Any planning applications or letters
- Photos of the land and its access
Common questions
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.
Can I keep a strip for my own access?
Yes. Your solicitor can reserve rights or keep land back as part of the sale.
How long does a paddock sale take?
If the title is registered and there are no disputes, the legal work is usually the main timescale.
Can you visit land near Tewkesbury?
Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
