The property comprises a high quality fully functioning extensive horticultural complex providing a range of glasshouse and nursery premises (including individual computerised climate control and irrigation systems) with ancillary modern farmhouse, offices, packhouses, cold stores, workshops, former grainstores, staff accommodation and polytunnels.
The facility benefits from biomass boiler heating (underfloor in part), oil-fired back up (in part), PV panels (in part) and reservoirs (holding up to 20 million litres of self-saved water). The modern parts of the complex were erected on a phased basis from the early 2000's onwards.
A more detailed description/specification of the various facilities can be provided on request.
There is deemed to be potential (and land available) to extend the growing areas and erect additional buildings and/or glasshouses on land at the eastern and western edges of the site and to replace polytunnels with glass, subject to necessary Planning Consent.
The site extends to about 7.42 hectares (18.33 acres).
Rookery Farm occupies a strategic position in an area with a long-established food and horticultural sector and readily available cost-effective workforce.
It is approximately 7 miles east of the A16 at Cowbit, 9 miles south of the A17 at Holbeach and 11 miles east of Spalding. Holbeach St John Village lies 2 miles to the west.
