The principal access to Hill Farm is from the A143 with a secondary access via Queens Lane heading north from the village of Chedburgh.

To the south of the farm buildings are a pair of fenced grass paddocks. The buildings and the paddocks are let under a Farm Business Tenancy expiring on 30th September 2025. Further details are available from the selling agents.

LOT 2: LAND AT HILL FARM - 233.19 ACRES
