Productive 178-acre farm with modern buildings and consent for a 3-bed dwelling.
Approximately 178.7 acres of arable and grazing land
Throphill Farm offers a substantial, ring-fenced agricultural holding of approximately 178.7 acres, combining productive arable and grazing land with modern purpose-built farm buildings. The land is described as good quality for cropping and mowing/grazing and is presented in largely well-maintained condition with established field boundaries and some woodland. There is no flood risk and crime levels are very low, supporting secure agricultural use.
A key commercial advantage is existing planning consent for a three-bedroom farmworkers dwelling sited close to the current steading (consent referenced to Lot 1). The farm is offered as a whole or in two lots: Lot 1 (approx. 66.4 acres) includes the buildings and dwelling consent; Lot 2 (approx. 112.3 acres) is predominantly arable land. Buildings benefit from mains water and currently serve livestock housing and storage, offering immediate operational capacity for farming or diversification.
Practical considerations include the remote, rural location—classified as a remoter agricultural community—where broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average. These factors may limit residential or home-based business uses without investment in connectivity. Access is via a farm track from the B6343 and the holding lies about 5 miles from Morpeth and 20 miles from Newcastle, with Newcastle International Airport c.30 minutes by road.
This holding will suit an active farmer, commercial investor or buyer seeking a large-scale arable/livestock enterprise with development potential tied to the existing planning consent. The property’s scale, established buildings and consent provide clear operational and development options, while buyers should factor in the remote location and limited digital connectivity when planning residential or diversified projects.
