Finding a house with land

[NoOneKnowsWhoYouAre]

Is there somewhere that I can look. We want a detached house with a small bit of land around it but Rightmove just keeps bringing up places on housing estates.

Ask local estate agents for advice.

Change your Rightmove search to areas that aren't built up? You can draw a map of your search area. But probably you need to speak to Estate Agents for this one

On the market is slightly better for this

it depends if you are looking for large garden (upto an acre) or a small holding and where you are in the country

There’s some Facebook groups dedicated to it, it’s hard to search for land as there’s no filter on rightmove. Try “equestrian property, small holdings & farms for sale in the uk”

Try land agents rather than estate agents.

Farmers Weekly

Look at villages rather than towns and be prepared to skim through the Rightmove listings.

There are some goid Facebook pages (see photo).
Rural scene is usually good too.

what area and budget?

Add the keyword acre or acres to the Rightmove search.

Thanks all. We are looking in the East of England area. No fixed place really. Rightmove is useless so I will look at some of the suggestions

What are you planning to do with the land?

Savills maybe?

Not a lot really, keep chickens, bees etc.

Second PP's suggestion of The Smallholding Centre. Also there's a site called UK Land and Farms which has a good search facility. You can also search for land agents in the area because land agents will often have links with the estate agents in the area who deal with less urban property.

Also Strutt and Parker.

Try savills

How much land?

We have 4 acres, plenty for chickens, bees, paddock - found via normal high street EA.

If you're looking for a small holding with more acres, Google small holding for sale in your search area.

Following! I'm putting feelers out for when we semi retire next have tried searching small holdings, farms, kennels and catteries too

Not too much maybe an acre or so. Everything seems to have tiny gardens. I just want a bit of wild. Even if I put land as an option in RM it comes up with houses with gardens the size of postage stamps!!

Find an area you like (I'm assuming Suffolk will fit the bill) do a large search radius of a semi rural but large town (like Bury St Edmunds) with your budget and room numbers, you should find plenty in that area.

What's your budget?

Round here the landed properties (lots of equestrian properties) tend to go through Fine and Country

Primelocation has a keyword filter which is useful. Try 'no near neighbours', and be prepared to end up with a lot more than 'an acre or so'!
