The land which benefits from 3 water abstraction licences naturally divides into lots offering considerable flexibility for purchasers to acquire additional land in larger or smaller acreage sizes to suit. Land adjoining the village is strategically well located and may have future development potential. For someone seeking to acquire the whole in a single lot the farm buildings are well situated on a large site off Sike Lane providing potential for grain, potato and machinery storage and a farm office. The sporting and amenity aspects are enhanced by some attractive well established woodland blocks on the holdings. Farm Buildings The farm buildings lie to the north side of Sike Lane from where the current farming operation is based. Whilst grain and potatoes are no longer stored on site the buildings were constructed at a time when there was a large onsite mixed farming operation for which much of the equipment remains in situation. Building 1 – 6 bay steel portal framed building with concrete floor, fibre cement roof and cladding over block walling. Double sliding doors at northern end. This building which measures internally 35.7 m x 18.9 m includes the farm office, staff room WC’s and kitchen area (40.8 m) as well as a 2 bay workshop and 5,000 L diesel tank (11.74 m x 9.73 m). Building 2 – • Eastside – 3 bay open storage (20 m x 17.38 m) currently providing machinery storage with an insulated roof. • Chitting store – (20 m x 6.03 m) an insulated store with sodium lighting. • Potato store – Former box potato store. Steel portal frame construction with concrete floor with insulated walls and ceiling divided into two separate stores the first being 30.6 m x 19.8 m and the second 12.2 m x 19.8 m. Grain storage – (13.37 m x 8.95 m) The dryer shed includes an Allmet dryer, reception pit and diesel tank connecting to six free standing circular grain silos each having capacity of 250 tonnes. Please note that the grain dryer silos have not been used for a number of years. The Land The land which is predominantly grade 2 and 3 Arable land is generally level or gently undulating lying approximately 25 meters above sea level. The land which is split by the A168 trunk road is divided into good sized fields for modern crop rotation. Recent cropping has been based on wheat, barley, oilseed rape and beans with some land let off for potatoes. There is approximately 9 acres of permanent set aside at the eastern end of field 5748 and some permanent grassland adjoining North Fields wood to the west of the farm buildings. There is excellent road access to the land off council highways and the land naturally sublots if required. The land is sold with the benefit of water abstraction licences (see detail later) which enhances the cropping potential. Field 8517 is a well situated 3.1 acre adjoining the village and existing development and may have potential for future development subject to obtaining planning consent.
