INTRODUCTION
The sale of the Honkley Dairy Unit is a rare opportunity to acquire a recently constructed specialist dairy unit comprising 4,950 sq metres of modern portal framed buildings and 117 acres of land within a ring fence set in a noted agricultural locality with far reaching views over the Cheshire Plain. Constructed circa 2007/2010 the size, layout and capacity of the portal framed building are a notable feature of the farm with accommodation for approximately 400 cows, 5 concrete silage clamps with a capacity of approximately 4,250 tonnes all of which has been developed with the intention of providing easy movement of stock and machinery on a level greenfield site with extensive concrete yard and roadways. The buildings are complimented by the fertile and versatile land, all of which is currently down to productive leys in useful sized field enclosures, the majority of which have attractive well established mature hedges with a number of mature English oak trees.
LOCATION
Honkley Dairy Unit is located amidst attractive open countryside on the Cheshire/Flintshire/Wrexham borders in an elevated setting with far reaching views over the adjoining countryside. The popular village of Rossett is approximately 3 miles, whilst the town of Wrexham is 8 miles and the City of Chester is 10 miles. The A483 dual carriageway is approximately 2 miles (Junction 7) which in turn connects to the A55 at Junction 38 connecting to the M56 and the national motorway network.
Agricultural services are well provided for with livestock markets at Mold, Oswestry, Market Drayton and Shrewsbury whilst the majority of the large dairy processors operate in the area, all of which are supported by a well established and comprehensive agricultural service and contracting infrastructure.
THE FARM BUILDINGS
Honkley Dairy Unit offers an extensive modern multi span dairy/livestock building. The layout allows for the easy movement of stock and farm machinery with both cubicle and loose stock housing providing a capacity in excess of 400 cows which are milked through a Fulwood 30:30 low line parlour supported by two 9,600 litre bulk tanks. The livestock buildings are supported by five RSJ and concrete panel silage clamps with a total area of circa 2000 sq metres and a capacity of approx. 4,250 tonnes. The versatility and layout of the buildings could equally serve a specialist beef or other livestock enterprise. The buildings include the following (as numbered on plan).

1. 55m x 42m cow cubicle building, 268 Dutch comfort cubicles, feed barrier and tip wash

The majority of the land is stockproof fenced (sheep) whilst many of the fields are bounded by well established double fenced hedges, which include a number of mature oak trees which is a notable feature of the farm. The soil ranges from light/medium to heavy loam, part of which overlies sands, the majority of which is classified as being Grade II with some Grade III on the Land Classification Map of the Area and is capable of growing a wide range of fodder, cereal and root crops.
