Description
<b>Location</B>
The land at Cooks Farm and Flats Farm lies in a pretty location between the villages of Stanningfield and Hawstead to the south of Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk.
<b>Description</B>
The land extends to 289.03 acres (116.973 hectares) and comprises a pretty ring fenced block of gently undulating farmland and woodland. The arable land is split into three fields and amounts to approximately 251.34 acres (101.710 hectares) and has been farmed in hand by the Vendor utilising a traditional cereal rotation. The land is capable of producing high yielding cereal, pulse and sugar beet crops.
The majority of the land is classified as Grade 2 with an area of Grade 3 towards the north of the property. The soils are described as being of the Hanslope Series, a slowly permeable calcareous clay. The majority of the arable land was comprehensively drained in the 1980s under a Ministry Approved Scheme. The outfalls and ditches have been maintained as illustrated by the white marker posts.
The arable land is interspersed by a series of woodlands and spinneys which together total 34.26 acres (13.876 hectares). The land has for many years formed part of a larger established shoot. The topography, woodland and strategically placed game covers have provided a number of drives from which a purchaser could benefit.
There are two points of access to the property:-
- Via Lawshall Road to the west
- Via Bells Lane to the north. A right of access will be granted to the purchaser between points a-b on the sale plan after which the purchaser will enjoy freehold ownership of the track heading south.
<b>important notice</B>
Adjoining the eastern boundary, a neighbouring landowner is offering Rookwood Hall for sale being an outstanding small residential estate with an attractive 5 bed Hall and extensive facilities set in 265 acres.
Although not advertised, the Vendor of Cooks Farm & Flats Farm owns a further 239 acres which could be available via separate negotiation.
Together these 3 properties offer a buyer an opportunity to acquire a beautiful residential and farming estate of about 794 acres.
