A rare, large freehold estate in Boxted offering circa 40 acres of productive countryside, including eight established vineyard acres producing award-winning wines. The site already generates rental income from two holiday cottages and houses a newly completed 3,700 sq ft barn and a range of farm outbuildings suitable for wine production, storage or conversion.
Full planning consent exists for a substantial c.9,000 sq ft new-build dwelling; the consent notes scope for amendment or change of use (for example boutique hotel/spa) subject to planning. Multiple vehicular access points, a woodland pavilion, two lakes, meadowland and mature woodland increase the site’s commercial event and leisure potential (weddings, concerts, glamping, lodges — STP).
This is a genuinely flexible asset for a private estate, hospitality operator or vineyard investor. The business is held in a single freehold title with the option to acquire via the limited company which may reduce stamp duty exposure. Broadband is fast and the area is affluent with low crime, but the site sits as an isolated hamlet-style settlement and will require active estate management.
Notable considerations: a substantial development and diversification strategy will require further planning consents and capital investment to realise hotel, festival or expanded accommodation uses. Ongoing vineyard, winery and event operations require experienced management or retention of existing staff. Council tax details for the new build and some buildings are not specified; utilities and service provision are average to rural levels (mobile signal average).
