The Land
The farm extends to approximately 253.19 acres (98.50 hectares) and is contained predominantly in a ring fence of good sized, good shaped and easily worked fields which are generally free draining.
The land has been very well farmed with most fields benefitting from good gates, water troughs, good stock fencing and well trimmed hedges. Five fields have road frontage but the farm�s internal track, former railway line and a short right of way opposite the farmstead mean many more fields are independently accessed without the need for road travel.
