One of which is a highly productive meadow, the other being an ideal grazing field with the third being a large (20.86 ac) grazing field but with high amenity value for example there are large individual Oak trees within which give the land a parkland feel, whilst a stream meanders gently through the land and creating a sense of calm and tranquility. Aside from the agricultural, tax and commercial benefits of owning land such as that within Lot 2, there are also environmental benefits and consequent income streams to be generated.
The land is south facing and therefore benefits from an early growth and additional sunlight. The land has been well farmed and this evident by its productive nature.
