DESCRIPTION
The land at Wormington and Aston Somerville extends to 284 acres (114.9 hectares) of mainly arable land. The land is well maintained and in good condition. The land is in an arable rotation including winter and spring wheat, winter barley, oil seed rape and linseed. The vendor has followed a minimum tillage and regenerative farming system.

The parcels of land under Lot 1 will be subject to a new National Grid Gas pipeline in 2025, which has voluntary permission. Lot 1 also benefits from a redundant Dutch barn located on the western boundary. This measures approximately 127.8 sq. m (1,375.58 sq. ft). The barn will be subject to an overage clause listed below.
There is a plantation of Poplar trees in Lot 3, extending to approximately 13.32 ac (5.39 ha) which is part of a Woodland Grant Scheme. We understand this has approximately 5 years before it can be converted back to arable, felled or replanted. An area of woodland, adjoining the Poplars, extends to approximately 2.66 acre (1.08 ha). We are aware of several footpaths, particularly across Lots 3 and 4. Lot 4 has a culvert dividing the field.
