The farm land is currently occupied under two separate Farm Business Tenancy Agreements.

There is also access to the north western block of land from the adopted highway, which forms part of the northern boundary of the subject property. There is a public bridleway which crosses part of the land, travelling east to west through field no. NG2400.
According to the Agricultural Land Classification Maps, the farmland is Grade III.
