A mixed arable and grassland farm with extensive range of farm buildings, together with long frontage onto the River Derwent and fishing rights.
Description
Summary
Meadowbank Farm lies within a ringfence extending to approximately 109 acres in an accessible yet largely private position bordered by the River Derwent along the eastern boundary. The farm currently includes 30.5 acres of level arable land on the western side of the farm, together with 71.8 acres of temporary grass and permanent grassland which gradually falls down to the riverbank. The land is well supported by an extensive range of modern general-purpose buildings capable of supporting a variety of enterprises. The long frontage to the River Derwent enhances the landscape amenity and conservation value of the property, and in particular the northern section of the farm is very attractive. There are fishing rights owned on the river, which are currently let to an angling association.
Meadowbank Farm is likely to be of interest to purchasers with farming, lifestyle or amenity interests, particularly due to the large range of versatile farm buildings.
The Land
The land is classified as grade 3 on the Agricultural Land Classification maps and is within the Everingham soil series which is defined as deep, stoneless, permeable, fine, sandy soil. The arable land which is currently in fallow can grow cereal and root crops, and the permanent grass has been well managed. We understand that drainage works were carried out principally to Field 9463 in 2022.
