This is a substantial productive farm holding of about 155 acres (IACS registered) with strong arable and grazing credentials. The majority of fields are Grade 3(2), well suited to mixed cropping and livestock, while parts along the Little Water are marginal grazing (Grades 4(2) and 5(2)). The farm benefits from good internal access, stone dykes and a compact steading with the main buildings re-roofed in 2010.
Income and diversification potential are clear selling points. A 53 kW Argosy wind turbine (installed 2012) sits on the holding and leasing negotiations are near completion, offering expected rental income. A detached annexe called The Hatchery has a history of short‑let income and could continue as holiday accommodation or extra residential space. Extensive sheds (c.3,300m2) provide immediate capacity for machinery, grain or livestock operations.
The farmhouse is recently refreshed and extended (south‑west extension 2020) and includes character features alongside modern comforts such as partial underfloor heating and double glazing. Planning permission exists for a separate large four‑bed dwelling on a 2,386m2 plot (APP/2022/0723), which may appeal to a purchaser wanting to add value — note this permission expires February 2026.
Material considerations: services include mains electricity but a private water supply and septic tank; tenure is stated as unknown and the sale is subject to existing servitudes and wayleaves. The local area is classified as very deprived and remoter communities, which may affect local labour and service availability. Prospective purchasers should verify turbine lease terms, planning status and title specifics before offer.
