The land at Oathill Farm comprises a highly attractive block of main-ly Grade 2 agricultural land, with the eastern side bounding the river being Grade 4 land. The gently sloping, productive pasture extends to approximately 36.93 acres (14.95 hectares). The land is enclosed with mature hedgerow boundaries with some hedgerow trees, natural ditching and stock proof fencing in part. This land is split into five useful field parcels. The land enjoys multiple access provisions, including direct access from the public highway known as Oathill Lane (B3165), interlinking field gateways, and access via a farm track adjoining Oathill Farm.

The county town of Crewkerne is situated approximately 3.6 miles to the north east of the property, providing a more extensive range of services and amenities including a wide range of shops, services and recreational opportunities. The land at Oathill Farm is conveniently located, being approximately 3.6 miles South of the A30, A356 and 4.7 miles west of the A3066, providing easy access to the wider road network for broader regional travel.
