The Land The farmland extends to approximately 104.77 acres (42.40 hectares) in total. Over the last four years the land has been left fallow, it has now been cultivated and worked enabling a good entry for a spring crop or alternatively seeded to grass. As with a lot of land in the local area, it has previously been open cast mined and subsequently restored. The land is classified as grade 4 on the provisional agricultural land classification. When it was previously cropped it was productive land capable of growing a wide variety of combinable crops. The fields are divided by mature hedgerows that provide a habitat for a wide range of species. The land rises to the south and undulates across the farm. The land is under drained with a new scheme having been laid on restoration of the land with the vendors improving this over the years, under their ownership. View payable Stamp Duty for this property
