Introduction

Wickhurst Farm & Hoathly Farm are situated on the border of Kent and East Sussex and have been in the same family ownership for several years. Both available for sale by private treaty as a whole or in three separate lots. These two farms provide a purchaser with an excellent opportunity to acquire two working farms with in excess of 450 acres with good sized parcels and versatile soil types in a sought after area of West Kent/East Sussex.

The land is currently farmed under a Contract Farming Agreement with arable crops. The land has potential for Biodiversity Net Gain and has sporting rights with two shoots and river frontage and amenity within the high value residential locality.

Lot 2 – hoathly farm – 168.51 acres
Hoathly Farm is situated to the north east of Wickhurst Farm in the county of Kent. This farm extends to 168.51 acres. The majority of the land at Hoathly is in an arable cropping rotation and extends to 122.09 acres and is classified as Grade III on the Agricultural Land Classification Plan for England & Wales.

As well as the arable land there is approximately 18.92 acres of permanent grassland and 27.50 acres of woodland, shaws and ponds, the majority of which is Floshet Wood in the centre of the holding. Soil types are consistent with Wickhurst Farm although the fields are slightly more undulating with rivers, drains and ditches defining various boundaries and providing potential for Biodiversity Net Gain and nitrate neutrality.
The sporting rights are used by a local shoot under terms of a verbal arrangement.
