Further north is a smaller additional field, used for silage and beyond this is the last field, again used for silage. These top two fields have vehicular access directly off Broad Lane.
The boundaries generally comprise post and wire fencing and hedgerows most of which are stock proof.
Important – Please note that 89 Broad Lane, a domestic house, has a perpetual right of way along the track, which subdivides the top two fields.

The farm occupies an enviable position with far reaching rural views, in a private but accessible location.
The farm provides significant amenity and lifestyle appeal and will be of interest to a wide range of agricultural, equestrian, lifestyle, developer, and investment purchasers.

Land Type and Cropping History
All the land within the three lots is all down to grass and is classified as Grade 3. According to Soilscape (England), the soil is described as a naturally wet very acid sandy and loamy soil. Such soils are well suited to dairy production as they are capable of growing heavy crops of grass even in a dry season. A small part of the land would be suited to grazing only. There are small areas of woodland, ponds, and farm tracks within the overall acreage.

Tenure and Possession
The farm is subject to an Agricultural Holding Act Tenancy in favour of one of the beneficiaries. The freehold of the property is for sale with vacant possession on completion.

Rights of Way, Wayleaves, and Easements
The property is sold subject to all rights of way, wayleaves, and easements whether or not they are defined in this brochure.
We have been advised that there is a gas main crossing the land in an east/west direction to the north of the farm buildings. There is an overhead electricity line crossing the land towards the northern boundary. There is a perpetual right of way for the owner of 89 Broad Lane to access the house, along the track off Broad Lane, which serves as an access to the two fields to the north of Lot 2.
If the farm is sold in lots, then cross-rights and reservations will need to be reserved where required, for example for access, services and maintenance.
