The land extends in total to approx 23.40 acres (9.47 Ha)
comprising a ring-fenced block of productive grassland
capable of mowing and grazing. The land is suitably well
fenced, with sturdy stock-proof post and wire fencing

the boundary between the two parcels and provides a
natural water supply.

Lot 1: 14.23 acres approx. (5.76 Ha) Grassland

is classed as Grade 3, with soilscapes describing the land

is capable of growing arable crops and part has
previously been used to grow potatoes. According to the
provisional land classification the land is predominantly
classed as Grade 2, with soilscapes describing the land
