DESCRIPTION

Shurland Farm comprises a ringfenced non residential farm that extends to a total of 364.97 acres. There is little unfarmed land and the croppable parcels extend to 363.47 acres and are classified as Grade 3 on the Agricultural Land classification Plan for Engaland and Wales.
The farming is currently an arable rotation, that, this year comprises Winter Wheat, Spring Barley and Maize with two areas of cover crop for the local shoot. Soil types comprise the Windsor Soil Series that are free draining and productive even in wet springs like we have just experienced. A low ridge runs east west along the centre of the farm with the land to the south having a southerly aspect to the Leysdown Road.
At its highest point the land is 63m above sea level. To the north the land slopes down to Warden Road at 39m and to the south 17m at the lowest point by the buildings.

There is a good sized hard yard in the south eastern corner of the farm that extends to 1.50 acres and includes a twin span building extending to over 8,000ft². Floor Plans are below. Building 1 is of steel portal frame construction clad in steel box profile sheeting under a pitched corrugated fibre cement roof with a concrete floor, single roller shutter door and grain panelling.

This is currently used for machinery storage and overflow grain in the summer if needed. Building 2 is of identical construction but with 2 roller shutter doors and grain walling, used for grain storage from Harvest through to winter. There is a fan house to the rear. Holdover will be required on these buildings for grain storage until end of February 2025.
