The Property

Tenure
The company, F. Strawson Ltd, is a tenant under The Agricultural Holdings Act 1986 on a full repairing and insuring lease (n.b the pump house on the roadside is declared redundant). The rent payable is £45,000 per annum which was last reviewed with effect from April 2017. A full copy of the tenancy agreement can be found in the information pack available from the selling agents and potential purchasers should satisfy themselves with the full terms of the tenancy.
