GENERAL INFORMATION

DESCRIPTION The land on offer is part of Lower House Farm and consists of approximately 112.61 acres with an estimated 110.16 plantable/grazable area and 2.45 acres of no farmed area. The arable and pastureland is predominantly grade 1 and 2. Soilscapes describes the land as freely draining slightly acidic loamy soils. Some of the lower land located adjacent to multiple streams flowing into the nearby River Wye is subject to flooding but has been included in an arable rotation for over 30 years. The Landlords are happy for arable rotation to continue or supportive of reversion to grassland if so wished. The grain store located within the farm boundaries measures about 100ft x 80ft and will be included as part of the FBT agreement. The grain store has light and socket wiring but no mains electric connection. The grain store is not to be used for keeping livestock.

ENVIRONMENTAL GRANTS The land is not presently within any stewardship schemes. The Landlords are fully supportive of tenants entering the land into environmental schemes such as Stewardship, Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) and any capital grant scheme works. We estimate that about 2.45 acres is non farmed area, and the Landlords are happy that this area can be used within any SFI or Stewardship option so to protect these areas.

GRASSLAND The Landlords would prefer the tenants to graze the grass land with their own livestock however, if not owning livestock they would be agreeable to the tenant allowing third party grazing, provided by private documented arrangement only and that all the land is managed in accordance with the terms of the FBT and the FBT tenant is liable to police the arrangements. It should be noted that the successful tenant has the option to negotiate with the Landlord for an extra 11.83 acres of grassland.

ENVIRONMENTAL The Landlords request that hedges, trees and wildlife areas are protected by either temporary or permanent fences and the Landlords are happy for the successful tenant(s) to utilise capital grant schemes available to complete this work. No areas are to be grazed unless environmental features are protected. Should the successful Tenant(s) wish to cut any trees or hedges this must be first agreed with the Landlords.

CROPPING The Landlords do not wish for any potatoes, maize or root crops to be grown on the land.

INGOING There will be no incoming tenant payments due, other than the rent.

RENT Due in advance in two equal instalments per annum.

VEIWING The land is vacant, and any prospective tenants are free to walk and inspect the land in their own time. Please note that the grain store is locked.
