The Land
The land at Badges extends to some 67.13 acres (27.17 hectares) and can be found to the east of the holding.

It may be accessed from the farm buildings or an independent entrance lane to the south of the property.

It is mainly level/very gently sloping pasture land. It is divided in to large enclosures which have natural hedge bank boundaries. A stream dissects the land in two and has a number of mature trees on its banks. There is also a pocket of some 5 acres of native broadleaf woodland in the most northern corner of the farm.

This picturesque run of land would could either be used for traditional farming or would make a super conservation/rewilding project, or even a carbon off-setting scheme. Our vendor has used the land to support horses and wider livestock grazing.
