Lot 1

A productive and well-configured block of Grade 2 arable land extending to approximately 146.55 acres (59.31 hectares), situated to the south of Rook End Lane.

The holding offers a well-balanced block of productive farmland, with field parcels of a practical size suited to modern farming practices. Boundaries comprise a combination of ditches, mature hedgerows and established trees.

The soils are classified as lime-rich loamy and clayey soils with impeded drainage, and the land is understood to benefit from underdrainage, with mole draining undertaken where required.
