Property description & features
An opportunity to purchase a good-sized farm, unusually with the advantage of two farmsteads, both situated centrally within a ring fence in an excellent location.
Driffield Farm comprises the main farmstead with Cobb's Farm, a separate, smaller farmstead to the east, surrounded by their own land within a ring fence, extending in all to 184.60 acres (74.71 hectares) or thereabouts.
Both farmsteads include a range of traditional and more modern farm buildings, extending to over 28,000 sq.ft. (2600 sq.m.), providing livestock, machinery and produce facilities.
The land is all situated within a ring fence surrounding the two farmsteads, comprising arable and grass land, with all fields accessed from the principal farm access track. There is an additional internal track providing private access to field parcels to the south and east of the farmsteads.
The sale of Driffield and Cobb's Farm presents superb potential to create an excellent commercial farm with both farmsteads offering scope for modernisation, improvements, and alternative uses (subject to the necessary consents).
