The farm is situated within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and northern areas of the farm have far reaching views over surrounding farmland and the Weald.

The land is classified as Grade III on the DEFRA Agricultural Land Map. Some areas of the land slope down towards the river and the land immediately adjacent to the River Teise is in Flood Zone 3. The BGS Biology Map identifies the soils as being Tunbridge Wells Sand Formation. Soilscape notes the soils as slightly acid loamy and clayey soils with impeded drainage.

A local shooting syndicate has access to part of the farm and the topography of the site creates some excellent drives across the valley. The land has been let on a Farm Business Tenancy but notice has been served to end the current arrangement after harvest 2023.
