Shutlanger itself lies approximately 3.5 miles east of the market town of Towcester and 10 miles south of Northampton, both offering a wide variety of local and amenity services. Towcester benefits from direct access to the A43 and A5, which gives access to the wider road network, with Junction 15 of the M1 approximately 5 miles north-east.

The parcel has previously been cropped under rotation, with a maize crop being harvested earlier this autumn and currently remains fallow.
Access to the land is direct off the public highway known as Main Road which passes through Shutlanger village.
According to Natural England, the land is classified as Grade 3 on the Agricultural Land Classification Maps, being slowly permeable seasonally wet slightly acidic but base rich loamy and clayey soils with high fertility.
