Description

Meadow Farm comprises about 153 acres of level of arable and pastureland together with an exceptional set of farm buildings located just south of Stow-on-the-Wold in the heart of the North Cotswolds.

The land is currently all pasture, other than a small block of planted woodland in the centre of the farm. In previous years two of the fields have been cropped in an arable rotation. A particular feature of the farm is the mature hedgerows and specimen trees and the farm has been organic for a number of years.

The farm buildings were previously a dairy farm and as a consequence there is a sizable square footage of farm buildings. In addition to the covered space the farm also benefits from extensive concrete aprons and silage pits.

Interested parties should note that the cottages are excluded from the sale.
