Full Description

---

Location 

The Property is situated on the north side of Boyke Lane to the east and north of Springwood, Bowick Lodge, Bowick Cottage, and Boyke Wood, between the villages of Rhodes Minnis to the west and Ottinge to the south east.  Elham lies approximately 1½ miles to the north-east.

Description

The Property extends to about 10.46 Ha (25.87 acres) and is shown edged red on the Plan.  The land has recently been used for cattle grazing, and hay, but could be used for any agricultural production.  The building extends to about 370m2 (4,000 sq ft) and would lend itself to conversion to stables, subject to any necessary planning permission.

The Land

The land has been used as pasture for cattle grazing and hay in recent years, and is classified on the Agricultural Land Classification Map (Sheet 173) as grade 3, and is suitable for most combinable crops.  The soil is derived partly from the Andover 1 Association, and partly from the Batcombe Association.  The former soils are free draining, while the latter is reasonably permeable clay loam with flint which can occasionally waterlog to a degree.

The Building

The building is 370m2 (4,000 sq ft) and is steel framed and timber clad under Yorkshire boarding, under a colour coated profile steel clad roof.  This building has been used recently for cattle housing, but would lend itself for conversion to stables if required and subject to any required planning permission.

Services

A water supply is connected to the property.
