The Land
The land lies around the centrally placed homestead with an 8 acre arable field to the west of the entrance driveway being a versatile field under arable production with the remainder of the land comprising grazing and amenity land.

The land is capable of producing good quality arable crops but would also be well suited for grass production or would lend itself to conservation or biodiversity offsetting uses or possibly tree planting.

The farm lies in open countryside to the north of Springwell Village lying between the A194 trunk road and the urban fringe. The land is currently designated as greenbelt although adjacent land is currently subject to a planning application submitted by Boom Power to develop a solar farm on approximately 93.7 hectares of land. Whilst the application has not yet been determined the development would lie adjacent to the northern boundary of the property although would be subject to landscaping proposals as determined by the planning authority. Further information including plans showing access and a temporary compound area within field 1499 are available upon request.

A clay pigeon shoot is operated by a neighbour which currently runs fortnightly plus boxing day.

The house was originally constructed subject to an occupancy restriction which has subsequently been removed via a certificate of lawfulness.

The buildings were used as offices and storage for a landscape business for which retrospective planning consent was obtained. The business is no longer operated from the site which may have potential for alternative use or for further development subject to obtaining necessary consent.
