An extensive, high specification, modern horticultural premises on an 18.33 acre site in the ‘bread basket of Britain’ is a ‘first class’ opportunity, which out Lincoln team is acting as joint agents by Eddisons and R Longstaff & Co LLP who are the Joint Agents for the sale on behalf of Administrators.

Operating as a state-of-the-art facility in the sector, Rookery Farm has its own biomass and solar PV arrangements, as well as a rainwater harvesting system and a reservoir to support the extensive irrigation system.
The agents advise that there is additional land within the Rookery Farm site with potential, subject to planning approval, to extend the operation.
Commenting on the instruction to sell Rookery Farm, Will Wall, who is leading the agency on the sale from our Lincoln office, said, “Freeholds of such premises are rare and one that is of such a ready-made nature is even more unusual in coming to the open market.’’
