This substantial freehold horticultural complex occupies about 7.42 hectares (18.33 acres) and is configured for high‑volume commercial growing. The site includes extensive glasshouses, polytunnels, packhouses, cold stores, workshops, offices and a modern farmhouse, plus staff accommodation and large yard areas. Core services include a biomass boiler with partial underfloor heating, PV panels, oil backup and reservoirs holding up to 20 million litres of saved water.
The facility was developed in phases from the early 2000s and benefits from computerised climate control and irrigation across many houses, making it operational for commercial production. There is clear scope to increase productive area: land at the eastern and western site edges could be used for additional glasshouses or buildings and polytunnels may be replaced by glasshouses, subject to necessary Planning Consent (applications not yet made or confirmed).
Practical strengths include good vehicular access, excellent mobile signal and substantial built infrastructure supporting horticultural operations. Material constraints to note for purchasers: broadband speeds on site are very slow, the local area shows relative deprivation indicators, and any expansion or replacement of structures will require planning approvals. The property is offered as a large‑scale commercial opportunity for investors or businesses able to manage rural operations and planning processes.
