About this property

Detailed Description

INTRODUCTION AND LOCATION

The land at Forncett St Peter extends to approximately 21.40 hectares (52.93 acres) of primarily arable land divided into 3 lots. The land is gently undulating in an attractive rural setting with significant amenity and environmental appeal.

The land is classified as Grade 3 by the Provisional Agricultural Land Classification Sheet and identified as being part of the Burlingham 1 Series being described generally as deep coarse and fine loamy soils with slowly permeable sub-soils, mostly suited to a combinable cropping rotation.

The land has formerly been let under an Agricultural Holdings Act Tenancy in a conventional arable rotation. Over the past ten years the back cropping has included winter cereals, and sugar beet.
The What3Words reference for the lots is:
Lot 1: ///grove.chatted.press.
Lot 2: ///darkens.radiates.mason
Lot 3: ///unstated.churn.trap.

The lots may all be accessed directly from the highway, being Norfolk County Council maintained roads.
