Westley Hall Farm is a substantial freehold agricultural estate extending to approximately 414.52 acres (167.75 ha), centred on 382.06 acres of productive Grade 2 arable land. The holding combines three residential dwellings, a mix of modern and traditional farm buildings (some commercially let), an established DIY livery yard with floodlit school, and extensive paddocks and arable blocks split across Westley Waterless, Burrough End and Weston Green. The arable land has been farmed in-hand under a Contract Farming Agreement; the current contractor is interested in continuing subject to terms.
The property offers immediate income streams from lettings (buildings and residential lets) and the livery yard, plus sporting, equestrian and commercial potential. There is clear development interest in parts of the surrounding area (notwithstanding planning constraints). The sale is available as a whole or in up to six lots, giving flexibility for farmers, investors or developers to acquire appropriate parcels.
Important commercial constraints and risks are plainly stated: the vendor reserves a 30% overage (uplift) on any non-agricultural/equine planning permissions for 30 years, and parts of Lots 1 and 3 are already subject to existing overages. Certain lots have been sold subject to contract. There are also short-term holdover rights for a machinery sale (to 30 Oct 2025) and grain storage (to 1 May 2026), and a public bridleway currently traverses part of Lot 3 (vendor is consulting on re-routing).
This estate will suit established farmers seeking productive arable acreage, investors wanting diversified income from lettings and livery operations, or purchasers considering longer-term redevelopment subject to planning and overage. Practical due diligence is advised on tenant arrangements, EPC ratings on dwellings, overage documentation and any planning re-routing or local solar scheme proposals.
