The Farmland In total the property comprises about 617.40 acres (249.85 hectares) in two distinct blocks. Hill Farm comprises about 449.70 acres off scenic rolling fields and picturesque valleys all within a ring fence of which about 65.33 acres is woodland. The land is mainly permanent pasture utilised for the grazing of livestock with some areas of temporary grass and arable. The boundaries comprise of established well maintained hedgerows with good stockproof fencing across the holding. The majority of fields benefit from water troughs or natural water sources with the River Leadon forming the boundary to the west. The woodland has been commercially managed with the standing timber harvested as appropriate. It provides useful shelterbelts as well as offering excellent sporting potential. The land is mainly classified as grade 2 with a small pocket of grade 1 and some of the southern parcels being grade 3. According to Soilscapes, the soils may be described as slightly acid loamy and clayey soils with impeded drainage. These soils are flexible and well suited to grass production and autumn sown cereal crops. The land can be easily accessed from the central farmstead which in turn has good access to the A4103. There is also a useful track which runs the full length of the property parallel to the western boundary and connect the A4103 in the north to Brook Lane in the south. To the north of the A4104 is Lot 2, the Land at Seed Farm, which comprises about 162.80 acres of mainly grade 2 and 3 arable land plus about 4.90 acres of woodland. The land is bounded by mature hedgerows but having been used for arable rotations is not fenced and we understand there is no water connected. As at Hill Farm the soils may be described as slightly acid loamy and clayey soils with impeded drainage but some of the northern fields are more freely draining slightly acid loamy soils suitable for a range of cropping. The land has excellent access from the A4103 and can also be accessed off the B4220 and Wells Lane. There is a useful central trackway which also provides access to neighbouring property.
