The land benefits from direct access from Twizell Lane. Access is taken through a gated entrance and is suitable for modern agricultural machinery and vehicles, as well as providing pedestrian access to the land. This leads to a Public Right of Way across the southernmost parcels. The first section of the access road is via an adopted highway and then a right of access will be granted over the Sellers retained land, in favour of the Buyer. The access is marked in blue on the sale plan.
