* Open fronted 2 bay portal framed implement shed to the rear of the grain store
To the north of Abbey Farm Bungalow are a series of brick built former agricultural buildings. These are workshops for a car fabrication business.

Land
The land at Abbey Farm extends to approximately 368.55 acres (149.15 hectares) of which 325.82 acres (131.86 hectares) is farmed within an arable rotation with 29.39 acres (11.893 hectares) being laid to grass.
The arable land is underdrained and is split by an IDB dyke running through the property. Access over which is via a bridge to the north of the farm buildings. The fields are easily accessable from the main driveway or from a central track running through the spine of the farm. With an average field size of over 32 acres, Abbey Farm represents an efficient holding for modern farming methods.
The majority of land is classified as Grade 3 with small areas being classified as Grade 2 on the Provisional Agriculture Land Classification Maps. According to the Soil Map of England and Wales, the soils are of the Hanslope Series being a slowly permeable clay based soil. These soils will produce high yielding cereal crops when conditions allow.
The grassland is fenced by the current sub-tenant (and may be removed by him if the tenancy is not continued). The land is designated as a scheduled monument as it is the site of the former Sawtry Abbey – the only recorded Cistercian monastery in Cambridgeshire.
