Lot 1 - A productive and well-configured block of Grade 2 arable land extending to approximately 146.55 acres (59.31 hectares), situated to the south of Rook End Lane.

The land extends to five principal arable field parcels, gently undulating in nature and situated within an attractive and secluded rural setting. The holding offers a well-balanced block of productive farmland, with field parcels of a practical size suited to modern farming practices. Boundaries comprise a combination of ditches, mature hedgerows and established trees.

The soils are classified as lime-rich loamy and clayey soils with impeded drainage, and the land is understood to benefit from underdrainage, with mole draining undertaken where required.
