The adjacent land, totalling 78.99 acres of level arable land situated in 6 fields, is also available under a separate lot.

FARM BUILDINGS

A timber frame agricultural building in poor condition is positioned adjacent to the minor country road. Positioned on the edge of the field with land on three sides, the building has its own access and is partially shielded from the road by a wide verge with mature trees and vegetation. Consisting of a 18m x 6m timber framed building in need of repair or replacement, with a concrete floor and associated adjacent block buildings in a dilapidated condition, the entire building area measures approximately 18m x 18m and could be put to a multitude of alternative uses, subject to obtaining the relevent consents.
