Paper Mill Lane, Bramford, Ipswich, IP8

The land extends to approximately 38.09 acres (15.41 hectares) and comprises a mix of agricultural and environmental land uses, including approximately 19.79 acres (8.01 hectares) of arable land, 5.18 acres (2.10 hectares) of permanent grassland, 6.70 acres (2.71 hectares) of woodland, 6.10 acres of fallow land and 0.32 acres of tracks and access ways.

The land enjoys an attractive rural setting with extensive frontage to Paper Mill Lane, providing direct access into field 8242. The property is bordered by a mixture of neighbouring woodland, productive agricultural land and residential properties, whilst also benefiting from the proximity to the A14, offering excellent connectivity to the wider road network.

Access is available directly off Paper Mill Lane and the property further benefits from a right of way over adjoining land shown hatched brown on the accompanying plan, providing additional access and operational flexibility.

The arable land has been managed with a conventional cropping rotation, with previous cropping details available to view on the attached sales brochure.

According to the DEFRA Agricultural Land Classification, the majority of the land is classified as Grade 4, with an area of Grade 3 land situated within the eastern part of the holding. The soils are described as freely draining, slightly acidic loamy soils, capable of supporting a range of both spring and autumn-sown crops. Under grass, the soils provide a long grazing season, while the free-draining nature of the land helps reduce the risk of compaction and soil damage from livestock and agricultural machinery, enhancing its agricultural versatility.

The combination of productive farmland, established woodland, grassland and fallow areas creates a diverse holding with potential for agricultural, environmental and amenity uses, subject to the necessary consents.
