Lot 1

Located to the side and rear is a range of modern agriculture buildings, mainly constructed with concrete frames and reinforced block walls with Yorkshire Boarding, beneath a pitched fibre cement roof. There are several roller shutter doors providing multiple access points. The buildings are currently utilised as a workshop and for storage, with a total gross internal area of about 1,000 sqm (10,800 sqft).
Lot 1 is shaded red on the sale plan.
