Farmland
The farmland at Strathend sits at an altitude of approximately 50 - 70 metres above average sea level. The land is classified by the James Hutton Institute as predominantly Grade 3.2, which is typical of the area. This indicates the land is capable of producing a range of arable crops and grassland for productive cattle and sheep enterprises. The land has been well maintained and in good heart with rotational arable crops and grazing having allowed organic matter to be fed back into the soil. The fields are bound by stockproof fencing and mature hedges, providing shelter for livestock.
The fields are currently in grass, with some of the fields cut for silage. Water is accessible in all the fields. The land is well maintained, gently sloping and easily worked.
Lot 1 includes farmland extending to approximately 14.39 Ha (35.56 ac) and the land surrounds the farmhouse and buildings.
