Lot 2 at Sykeside Farm is a practical, productive farmland parcel of approximately 70.47 acres, offered with two modern agricultural buildings and strong internal access. The combination of improved grassland, a watercourse through the holding, mains electricity and a private water supply makes the lot immediately workable for livestock or mixed farming. An 18.78-acre block of highly productive, flat land sits adjacent to the steading and could be re-seeded, cultivated or rotated into arable crops.
The primary steel‑framed building (c.75ft x 45ft) and a second open-fronted storage/livestock shed are recent, in good condition and provide covered housing, feed and machinery storage without the capital spend of erecting new structures. Funding has been secured to concrete the steading area and the intention is for this to be completed prior to completion, improving handling and yard durability.
Practical considerations are straightforward: access is good from Sykeside Lane and an internal track crosses the property, though the access track is shared with neighbouring dwellings and formal rights are outlined in the sale. The land is Grade 3, predominantly freely draining and described as suitable for a wide range of crops and grazing. The holding currently participates in a Sustainable Farming Incentive agreement which may transfer with the land (buyers should verify).
Buyers should note material negatives: the property is in a remoter, deprived rural area with slow broadband and only average mobile signal. Flood risk is recorded as high for parts of the holding; purchasers must satisfy themselves as to flood exposure and insurance implications. A public footpath crosses the farm. Tenure will be freehold with vacant possession on completion.
