Cranbrook Road, Goudhurst, Cranbrook, Kent

Description:
Land at Triggs Oast comprises an area of permanent pasture with an attractive avenue of trees running down the centre, subdividing the parcel into two large fields, bounded by native hedgerows and woodland with fantastic far-reaching views over surrounding countryside. The land extends to some 30 acres (12.14 hectares) or thereabouts, and is classified as Grade III under the former agricultural land classification system, being of slowly permeable, seasonally wet, slightly acid but base rich loamy soils. In recent years the land has been managed for a hay crop.

The land could be suitable for vineyard establishment. The site is south facing, between 44 and 78 metres in height above sea level and has a slope angle of around 4 degrees. Whilst under-draining and additional ground preparation prior to planting is likely to be required on a site of this type, such preparation work could enable a large area of the land to be planted, subject to obtaining all necessary consents relating to permanent pasture, the AONB and any planning consents needed.

Access:
access will be provided by way of a newly granted right of way from the north, and further information on this is available from the selling agents.
