The next adjacent farmer (“proper” farmer, whos land I shoot on) says in it current state it is worth max £3k !!! But I assume that is as pure agricultural land and not connected with our house?

Thanks for the vote of confidence in the price, but I think you are all mixing up the owners and the prices quoted!
The land is owned by a factory next to us, they rent it FREE to a farmer that has "farmed" it as a hobby for nearly 50 years simply due to an old agreement.
The price quoted of £3k was from the other farmer that farms the next field/ farm, how said in it current state i.e very poor drainage, poor soil etc etc £3k.
I have not had a quote from the true owners (The factory)
My view given the condition of the land, no road frontage access, no running water, elec etc would be £8 - 10K for the 3 acres.
Anyway, a few years of buying it at the moment, just need to save up a bit more. We have 50 x 10 m from the factory free to rent as long as they do not need the land.
Some honey dropped round today, and some veg in the summer to the factory manager to keep him sweet!
