The land is classified as Grade 3 and the soil described as a slowly permeable, slightly acid but base-rich loam and clay soil.

The land would be suited to agricultural or equestrian use.

Services - Mains water (Anglian) is connected to the property via a supply down Longdown Lane from the village of Barby where the meter is located. The adjoining landowner shares this supply and pay for water consumed measured by sub-meters. Drainage is via a private system and mains electricity is connected.
The purchasers should make their own enquiries as to availability and adequacy of the services.
Planning - In 1986 an additional dwelling was constructed by the then owners, and the council imposed an Agricultural Occupancy Condition under planning permission reference R86/0342/8046/P. The property must be occupied by someone mainly employed or lastly employed in agriculture or a dependent or widower of such person.
Any purchaser wishing to satisfy themselves as to whether or not they qualify for the Occupancy Condition must speak to Rugby Borough Council although an opinion can be given by the agent.
