Land for sale in Holbeach St Johns
PROPERTY
The property comprises a high quality fully functioning extensive horticultural complex providing a range of glasshouse and nursery structures (including individual computerised climate control and irrigation systems) with ancillary modern and very well appointed 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.

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 being obtained.
