Exceptional opportunity to purchase Grade 2 land

Description

The Land
The land is undulating in nature and comprises predominantly Bromyard and Milford soils, well known as loamy soils and given that much of the land is classified as Grade 2 it represents a productive acreage. There has been a program of drainage throughout the vendor’s ownership and an additional benefit is the quality of tracks which provide excellent access to nearly every field.

Most fields benefit from mature hedgerows, there are a number of in field specimen trees; mainly oaks and a number of small water courses run through the land. Located in the north west corner of field no. 5233 is an old quarry which currently holds water and offers potential for creating a farm pond, a further pond may be found in field 4524 all of which provide environmental and amenity interest. From a number of the fields there are views to the Skirrid and Sugar Loaf Hills.

Farm Buildings
The farm buildings are of relatively modern modular construction and represent an extensive footprint. The workshop building benefits from a rest room and kitchen area with shower and WC and an office. In addition this building benefits from a secure strong room for hand tools and a chemical store. To the rear is a secure lean to building housing a 5000 litre fuel tank. Adjoining the farm buildings is the apple tipping area. Formerly a silage pit the area benefits from effluent tanks as well as an adjacent lorry loading bay. Surrounding the buildings is an extensive apron of concrete.

The farm is available as a whole or in two lots
