Buildings And Yard - Knapps Farm is accessed via a private driveway. There are a good range of modern steel portal framed buildings as well as traditional brick buildings, all set within a concreted/hard standing yard. The buildings are well suited to the operation of most farm enterprises and can house a number of livestock as well as storage for farm machinery and fodder. There are cubicles in place for 80 head of cattle. The buildings benefit from a water and electricity supply. There is potential for the conversion of the traditional buildings into residential, subject to gaining the correct planning consents.

Land - The farm is ringfenced and set in approximately 155.14 acres (42.13 hectares). All of the land is suitable as pasture for livestock, mowing for silage/hay and could be used in arable rotations. There are established hedgerows to the field boundaries with tracks providing good access across the farm. There are freely draining, acid loamy and clayey soils. There is a natural water supply via the Westbury Brook and small areas of woodland to the south-eastern part of the farm.

The land is also well suited to generate an income through different diversifications of the farm enterprise such as through environmental schemes/grants, tree planting, renewable energy, and natural capital earnings via biodiversity net gain, carbon sequestration etc.

n.b. There are a further 50 acres within 1 mile available by separate negotiation.
