Old Hall Farm consists of a 371.26-acre farm within a ring-fence, primarily comprised of productive arable farmland, together with modern farm buildings and yard space which provide plenty of capacity to serve the needs of the holding. The farm is situated adjoining the north of the small residential hamlet of North Carlton, 4.5 miles north of Lincoln, bounded by the A1500 to the north and with access points suitable for modern farming needs.

AGRICULTURAL BUILDINGS

The buildings at Old Hall Farm comprise a useful modern grain store site with capacity for 2,800 tonnes, situated to the west of the holding, with good HGV access directly from the public highway at North Carlton Lane, via an asphalt-surfaced private farm road. The buildings are serviced by mains water, 3-phase electricity, a private Calor Gas supply, and concrete hard-standing which provides ample turning space.

LAND AT OLD HALL FARM

The land at Old Hall Farm comprises a compact block of predominantly arable land which extends in all to 369.38 acres. The land is identified as Grade III by the Agricultural Land Classification, the soils being described as clayey loam in part with some areas of more chalky and sandy loam. The soils are partly freely draining but benefit from land drains in areas with otherwise impeded drainage.

The land is divided into a number of regular parcels, bounded by hedgerows, ditches, grass margins and woodland shaws. The fields are of a suitable size and shape for modern arable farming operations and are easily accessible using the tracks and surfaced farm roads which cross the land. The land is mostly level but ascends to the east of the holding with a sloping western aspect. Further access can be gained to the land via a track leading directly from the end of Church Lane to the south of the holding but with limited suitability for agricultural traffic.

The land is crossed by an overhead electricity transmission cable which runs across the southwestern corner of the holding. There are 2 public footpaths which run parallel north to south across the land and one further footpath clips the southeastern corner. A public bridleway leads north along the private farm road from Carlton Lane.

The arable land is currently being farmed in rotation as part of a largescale farming enterprise. Information on current and previous cropping, yield data, land drainage and ditching regime, as well as public rights of way can be found in the data room, available from the selling agent on request.
