Site of the former Hall with development potential subject to planning.
184.89 acres of Grade 2 arable land
69.55 acres of grazing meadows
Fishing and other activities on the River Bure
Description
Old Hall Farm occupies an attractive un-spoilt position in the Bure Valley. The land extends to 276.9 acres (112 hectares) with productive arable land balanced with grazing meadows and woodland providing environmental, amenity and leisure interest with extensive frontage to the River.
The site of Burgh Hall, a Jacobean style mansion that was demolished in 1981, provides the potential to build a new dwelling or leisure facilities subject to planning consent. It enjoys an idyllic location with southerly aspect over the former park and farmland beyond.
The whole was part of the historic Burgh Hall Estate which is rich in natural capital and provides an abundance of environmental benefits.
The Farm has been contract farmed by the neighbouring Papworth family for many years. They can irrigate the land from their own water abstraction licence.
SITUATION
The farm is situated in the parish of Burgh and Tuttington in the Broadland district of Norfolk. Burgh next Aylsham is a pretty and historic hamlet mentioned in the Doomsday Book and the market town of Aylsham is 3.5 miles to the North and has an array of shops and other facilities. The city of Norwich is about 13 miles to the South.
The National Trust Blickling Hall Estate is close by as well as other attractions such as the Broads and the North Norfolk coast with sailing, golf and other activities.
Lot 1 - Arable Land and site of the Former Burgh Hall and old Parkland 207.31 Acres (83.91 Hectares)
The site of the former Burgh Hall is a flat, partly terraced area with stone steps up and brick walling. The old gardens are evident with mature Yews and other specimen trees. It is sheltered by woodland to the East and North. The Hall was a large red brick mansion in Jacobean style, originally built in the 1830’s with later editions in the 1860’s. The old part of the hall was built by George Stanley Repton, the fourth son of Humphry Repton, the famous landscape designer.
The site, though partly overgrown, could be restored to afford southerly views across the former parkland and also westerly to the river valley. It offers potential for a number of uses including leisure and residential subject to planning consent.
The area including the parkland and field amounts to approximately 19.97 acres (8.084 hectares). The arable land is on the East side of the river valley and extends to 184.89 acres (74.82 hectares) in six enclosures well suited to modern machinery.
The land is classified Grade 2 and comprises deep silty loam soils well suited to a diverse rotation including cereals, pulses and root crops. The land has good access from both the public highway and internal tracks.
Lot 2 – Grazing Meadows with River Frontage 69.55 Acres (28.15 Hectares)
The river meadows are shown shaded green on the sale plan and are on the West side of the farm with frontage to the River Bure. They include a section of the former Bure navigation canal that linked Aylsham to Coltishall. and was built in 1775 – 1778 enhancing trading communication until it was closed in 1928.
Between the river and the Old Hall buildings, now residential, there is the Round Hill, a Scheduled Ancient Monument. It is believed to have been the site of a medieval hall and early excavations yielded medieval pottery and iron axe and arrow heads. Rich in flora and fauna the meadows are interspersed with a series of ditches and are currently grazed with cattle and sheep.
Both the navigational canal and the River Bure provide the opportunity to fish or for other leisure activities such as canoeing and paddle boarding.
