Giving further details of the farm, Colin Tomlinson, Director of Michael CL Hodgson said: “Farms such as this coming onto the open-market in this area are increasingly few and far between and as Rawfold offers such tremendous opportunities, we are expecting it to be highly sought-after.
With the potential for someone to start farming by May this year, Rawfold is ideal for both farmers looking to increase their acreage or people looking for investment as an, opportunity, or find a change of lifestyle.”
