The farm

The farmland of Lot 2 extends to around 826 acres of highly productive, ring-fenced arable and pasture land which lies to the south of the main house and parkland. The land is classified as Grade 3 according to the Agricultural Land Classification (alc) with the soils described as free draining loam which are suitable for the production of a range of cereal crops. The fields are well
laid out and of a generous size, easily accommodating modern machinery and are highly accessible through an excellent network of estate hardcore and tarmac tracks.
The current management of the farm is an organic farming system which was primarily focused on herds of livestock.

The pasture fields are all planted with 31 species of herbs, clovers and grasses providing a diverse diet for livestock.

Woodland and sport

There are approximately 182 acres of woodland across Lot 2 which predominantly comprise mature, native woodlands. The natural contours combined with the woodland cover and scale of the Estate provide the principal foundations for presenting a fantastic driven pheasant and partridge shoot with some exciting and challenging drives. The shooting has been enjoyed on an informal basis by the current owners with the Estate currently hosting 6 informal days per season. For the sporting enthusiast, Laverstoke offers the opportunity to reinstate the exceptional historic driven shoot. The Estate woodlands also provide an excellent habitat for roe, fallow and muntjac stalking.
