A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE AN OFF-LYING BLOCK OF WATER MEADOW AND AMENITY LAND OF SIGNIFICANT CONSERVATION AND SPORTING INTEREST BENEFITING FROM A 10 YEAR ENTRY LEVEL AND HIGHER LEVEL STEWARDSHIP AGREEMENT

In all about 55.5 Acres

DESCRIPTION

Approached from Northiam via the road leading to Great Dixter and thence part Dixter Farm and beyond over a part made-up trackway, the land is sandwiched between the Kent and East Sussex (steam) railway line along the south east boundary and river Rother to the north west. Until just a few years ago the land was in arable cropping with its deep, rich loam soil but has now converted back under an Environmental Stewardship Scheme in to water meadows of significant conservation and environmental value. There are large areas of wetland with rushes and bordered by open ditches and is home to a variety of birds including Lapwing and Snipe. One of the targets of the Environment Stewardship Scheme is to encourage wintering wader species such as ducks, geese, swans, Lapwing, Redshank and Snipe as well as a wide variety of flora and other plants as well as establishing a habitat for otters.
