INTRODUCTION
Fornham Park represents an exciting opportunity to secure a strategic property comprising a range of land uses located to the north of the market town of Bury St Edmunds. Situated on the northern edge of Fornham St Genevieve, the site provides potential for a purchaser to create a private estate or to diversify into other uses, subject to planning. The Vendors preference is to undertake this transaction as a Share Sale of Fornham Country Park Limited, which owns the subject property that is the Companies only property Assets.

LOCATION & SITUATION
Fornham Park is located approximately 3 miles northwest of Bury St Edmunds and situated on the northern edge of the village of Fornham St Genevieve. The property is adjacent to the B1106 and access to the property can be taken directly from the Public Highway. The B1106 links directly onto the A134 which connects the property to the A14 and surrounding areas.

Bury St Edmunds is a desirable market town for both locals and tourists with a range of shops, restaurants and amenity areas/attractions such as the Abbey Gardens and St Edmundsbury Cathedral.

AGRICULTURAL LAND
The land extends to 96.32 acres divided into four large fields. Currently the land is grassland with the potential to be converted back into arable land suitable for commercial farming. The land gently slopes south westerly towards the River Lark and the Lakes. The soils are mainly of the Newport 4 Association which are described as well drained sandy soils suitable for cereal crops, sugar beet and potatoes. The land has previously been cropped with sugar beet, maize, rye and winter wheat.

PARKLAND
Extending to 27.82 acres in total, the majority of the parkland forms part of the southern land situated adjacent to residential properties and the adjoining Aspen Country Park development. This area of land benefits from a range of mature trees and a separate access directly off the B1106 roundabout. The rest of the parkland extends around the lakes in the centre of the property.

WOODLAND
The main woodland is an attractive block extending to approximately 9.57 acres of mature broad leaf and conifer trees situated adjacent to the agricultural land to the north. The woodland benefits from an access directly off the Public Highway, Mill Road. The remaining areas of woodland are made up of small areas of trees and shelter belts.

LAKES
The scenic lakes are situated to the south west of the property and extend, in total, to 6.76 acres. A boathouse is situated on the northern bank of the eastern most lake.

Constructed of brick plinth with an oak frame under a pantile roof.

BROWNFIELD SITE
Extending to 29.16 acres of former landfill, the land has been restored to amenity grassland with an elevated view of the surrounding property. The land is filled in part with inert soils and part builder's waste and is regularly monitored by the Environment Agency.

BUILDINGS
Agricultural Building - A concrete block building measuring approx. 9.5m x 6m situated in the centre of the property. Church Tower The Church Tower, being the remains of the Fornham St Genevieve Church lies in the centre of the property. A fire destroyed the church in 1782 leaving only the tower which was subsequently used as a folly for the estate. The tower is Grade II* Listed and currently houses a redundant water tank.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND BIODIVERSITY NET GAIN POTENTIAL
Owing to the property's location and local environmental context, the land provides opportunities for the uplift of onsite habitats, mostly agricultural land, for the purposes of generating Biodiversity Net Gain Habitat Units. Such uplift could include the creation of new species-rich grasslands and woodland parcels and the enhancement of existing freshwater ponds and marginal river areas. Generated units can be sold commercially to developers in England and would be of particular value to those seeking to develop within the Bury St Edmunds local planning authority or national character area.
