The land was purchased by the current seller as rough pasture with some fruit trees comprising pear and apple, oak and maple. Overtime the land has been restored to pasture, including an area of wildflower meadow. The fruit trees remain including some additional planting of flowering cherry, a fenced kitchen garden area and particular attention has been made to encourage wildlife with insect friendly habitats. An area of hard standing includes a timber framed corrugated tin clad barn with part concrete floor. The land is enclosed by fencing and hedging. Fine views are enjoyed out across the neighbouring countryside.

Agent's note: an overage clause for future residential development of 20% of the uplift in value, remains from the previous owner. A public footpath runs within and along the eastern boundary enclosed by fencing and hedging. The land will not be sold until a buyer is found for King Charles.
