Classified as Grade 3 under the provisional agricultural land classification, the land has been utilised for grazing livestock, offering strong stocking capabilities and secure boundaries formed by mature mixed-species hedgerows and post-and-wire fencing. Access is taken directly from Green Lane into field parcel 4043, with further access available via Green Lane Farmyard.

To the rear of the more modern farm buildings lies a further 7.12 acres of Grade 3 & 4 pasture, divided into two well-defined parcels that provide additional useful grazing land.
