LOTS 1 - 8 This is a rare opportunity to acquire a farm with good size blocks of Grade 3 arable land, serviced by farm buildings, along with parcels of pasture and woodland suitable for a number of different uses, available in 8 Lots.
The Farm has convenient access directly off a number of highways, with the majority of the Lots wholly located inside the beautiful South Downs National Park.
The Farm would be suited to continued mixed agricultural use but equally presents excellent potential for exploring alternative purposes.
There is potential to revert the arable and pasture land to woodland, conservation grassland or other land types for Biodiversity Net Gain, Natural Capital, Carbon Offsetting or Rewilding purposes, subject to necessary consents.
Equally, the high demand for equestrian use offers the chance to let existing pasture or reverted arable land for grazing. The buildings in Lot 5 have good potential for re development, subject to planning permission (STPP).
A number of the Lots that are currently bare land would benefit from the erection of buildings to service the land, STPP.
The soil, topography and climate all combine to suggest a suitable terroir for viticulture. Moreover, with an existing solar park and National Grid infrastructure in close proximity, the prospect of renewable energy production is evident with much of the land being level and south facing.
