An unusual opportunity to acquire 96 acres of pasture with glorious views and approximately 10,000 sq ft of farm buildings.
Vacant possession available on completion.

The land and buildings are approached from the A259 via a track which leads down to the farm buildings. These are a collection of clad and principally open-fronted pole barns which have been used for housing cattle. There is a lockable workshop circa 60’ x 23’ with light and power connected, concrete flooring and a mezzanine area 14’ x 13’.

Water is connected and the buildings extend to approximately 10,000 sq ft in total. At the other side of the yard is a stable block with three loose boxes and adjoining feed store.

The land stretches out to the south with wonderful views across open marshland towards the Downs. Within the land is a lagoon and a good number of tree-lined hedgerows.

The land extends to about 96 acres.
