Comprising approximately 211.30 acres of farmland, consisting mostly of arable, interspersed with 60 acres of woodland and 5 acres of low-lying pasture along the river. Accessible via a council-maintained road leading to Finchale Abbey's private access, the majority of the arable land is located to the south. Here, the land sits at a higher elevation, gradually descending towards the woodland and river below.
The arable in all extends to approximately 143.37 acres. The land is mostly made up of loamy and clayey soils, mostly suited to grass production for dairying or beef and cereal production often for feed.
The farmland has been well managed in hand by the current owners and has been actively farmed by either ongoing crop rotation or grassland management. The woodland is also in hand and is primarily positioned along the riverbank and in a larger block to the west.
The woodland and pasture provide opportunities for ongoing stewardship and environmental initiatives. There is significant amenity potential with fishing on the River Wear, with approximately a mile of fishing rights included with Lot 2. Although the land has not been utilised for shooting in recent times, the layout of the terrain combined with the presence of well-covered woodland presents potential for sporting use.
