Description

LOT TWO: NORTHERN LAND

329.98 acres (133.55 hectares)

This main block of predominantly arable land extends around Lot One, Whitehouse Farmhouse, forming a well connected and workable parcel of productive farmland. The land is accessed from several public highways, and the fields are of a good size and shape for modern machinery and efficient farming operations. Scattered throughout the lot are several small areas of woodland, extending in total to 6.11 acres, providing natural cover, amenity value and potential for a small family shoot. The arable/pasture land extends to 322.84 acres, with the balance made up of miscellaneous tracks and bodies of water.

According to the Provisional Agricultural Land Classification, the land is classified as Grade 3, belonging predominately to the Beccles 1 soil series, and has historically supported a rotation of wheat, barley, OSR, sugar beet and peas, reflective of the productive and versatile nature of this block and its good management.
