Making Grass strips?

A friend of mine is doing up a barn in the country and has an option to purchase a strip of land with it off a large field
The land will give him about 25 x 450 to 500 metres appears to be level with good approaches both ends. It has a slight slope away to the side so should drain quite well.

He is a PPL and asked me about a suitable aircraft to keep there. Apart from the usual choice of various 3 axis microlights I suggested something like a Husky any other suggestions for an aircraft which could also be flown in IMC is reasonably modern and can operate in 450 to 500 metres grass ?

I know nothing about the law on using a private field attached to your home. Can you just cut the strip, stick an aircraft there and away you go?

Many thanks
