Description

The Land at East Court Farm occupies a rural yet accessible position just outside the village of Chalk, a short distance east of the town of Gravesend, approximately two miles northwest of the village of Higham on the border between the North Kent Plain and Thames Marshes. The nearby towns of Gravesend, Northfleet and Dartford lie within the wider local area and collectively provide a comprehensive range of facilities, amenities, as well as regular high speed rail connections to Central London via Ebbsfleet International.

The Land at East Court Farm is principally comprised within two distinct blocks, situated on the north and south sides of Lower Higham Road.

Lot 1: 53.49 acres (21.65 hectares) - £590,000
A single block of Grade II farmland in arable production. The land is generally level, sloping gently away to the north. Soils are described as loamy drift soils over chalk and suitable for early cropping. The land is partially cropped with oilseed (OSR) for the 2026 cropping year, with the balance of the land being in legume fallow.

Gated access is available directly off Lower Higham Road.

Lot 2: 221.99 acres (89.83 hectares) - £1,160,000
A substantial block of traditional grazing marsh, typical of North Kent. The land is generally level and principally comprised within one block, serviced by a central land way leading from Lower Higham Road. The land is subdivided by a series of internal drainage ditches, into several useful field parcels. Gated access is available directly off Lower Higham Road.

Lot 2 is crossed by two public footpaths, one leads north along the landway from Lower Higham Road, the other crosses the land to the southeastern corner.

A single 15.05-acre parcel is situated to the north, dissected from the main holding by a railway line. This is accessed from Queens Farm Road, across the railway and thence along a landway to the south and via neighbouring land.

Soils are described as deep stoneless clayey soils and can be prone to seasonal waterlogging.
