The Land The land at Low Beckside together with the land east of the council road which is known as land at Redmire extends in all to approximately 195 acres, the majority of which is classified as Severely Disadvantaged (SDA) and is Grade 4 on the Agricultural Land classification map. Low Beckside itself lies in approximately 72 acres within a ring fence to each side of the river which cuts through the middle and forms an attractive feature. There are good quality productive grazing fields with excellent access off the council highway and an internal access track leading to a bridge crossing which was rebuilt following Storm Desmond ensuring good access to the majority of the land. The land at Redmire (over the road) extends to a further 123 acres including permanent pasture, rough grazing and 20 acres of woods and ponds. The main area of woodland known as Redmire Wood has recently been felled. The permanent pasture includes some level improved grassland. The majority of the land is accessed off the private track leading to Redmire Farm.

Land at Greenah Crag is a single block of land extending to about 209 acres with excellent road frontage at the southern end onto the old road adjacent to the A66. The first section of the land comprises almost 30 acres of permanent pasture beyond which the remainder of the land is rough grazing bordered by 29 acres of established woodlands. This would be a wonderful piece of land for those with rewilding, conservation, planting as well as farming interests, subject to gaining the necessary consents. Alternatively for a purchaser of the whole farm it would continue to form a valuable part of the overall grazing regime.
