Parkham, Bideford, Devon, EX39

Ring fenced modern dairy unit with 127 cubicles, 10/20 swing over parlour and youngstock building. Just under 50 acres of productive pasture land. Accessible location.



Description
This modern dairy complex has been built since 2011 and since extended to provide high cow welfare and an efficient operating system.

The property enjoys excellent road frontage and easy access. The dairy building is extremely well designed with wide passages, well ventilated, generous cubicle beds extending to 127 cubicles, easy slurry management, fast parlour and separate youngstock rearing building. It is a model dairy unit that would operate independently or would make a fantastic addition to an existing dairy unit in the area. The land is level and extremely productive with high yields of grass being produced.
