A superbly situated Livestock/Arable farm extending to around 236 acres in a noted farming district close to the North Shropshire Lakeland town of Ellesmere.
Description - Halls are delighted with instructions to offer Haughton Farm, near Ellesmere, for sale by private treaty, as a whole or in Lots.
Haughton Farm is a superbly situated Livestock/Arable farm extending to around 235 acres in a noted farming district close to the North Shropshire Lakeland town of Ellesmere.
The farm briefly comprises a substantial period farmhouse residence with lovely surrounding gardens, a range of traditional farm buildings with potential, more modern multi-purposes buildings and surrounding land in convenient sized enclosures extending, in all, to 235 acres, or thereabouts.
It is unusual for such a high quality and versatile farm such as this to become available for purchase in the is noted farming district and, therefore, an early inspection of the farm is strongly recommended by the sole selling agents, Halls.
Situation - Haughton Farm is located in an attractive rural location in a noted farming district, on the fringe of the popular north Shropshire lakeland town of Ellesmere. Ellesmere has an excellent range of local shopping, recreational and educational facilities, yet is still within easy motoring distance of the nearby larger centres of Oswestry (9.5 miles) and the county towns of Shrewsbury (17 miles) and Chester (28 miles), all of which have a more comprehensive range of amenities of all kinds.
The Farmhouse - The residence at Haughton Farm is a stunning period farmhouse of great charm and character which dates back, originally, to the 18th century, with later additions.
The accommodation extends to over 5000sqft, is set over three floors and provides six reception rooms, seven bedrooms with three further second floor attic rooms.
The substantial internal accommodation retains numerous interesting period features and offers the opportunity to modernise and improve according to one's individual tastes and preferences.
Outside, the property is complimented by good sized mature lawned gardens with an extensive gravelled terrace, a cobbled yard and productive kitchen garden.
The Farm Buildings - The farm buildings are conveniently positioned with regard to the farmhouse and are principally set around concreted yards. They include a substantial range of traditional farm buildings which have considerable potential for residential conversion (subject to planning permission). The more modern farm buildings include a number of buildings formerly used in dairy farming and for stock rearing and machinery storage. A most unusual feature is the two aeroplane hangars (one lockable and secure) and which have been used by the current owner for many years in conjunction with the adjacent 427m grass Airstrip.
The Land - The land is a major feature of the property and is retained within four principal parcels intersected only by quiet council maintained country lanes. The land is divided in to convenient sized enclosures of well farmed arable and grassland currently with approximately 115 acres currently in arable production with the remainder in grass and has the added bonus of a hardcord internal track providing easy access to numerous fields.
The land is mainly a medium-sandy clay loam capable of producing excellent yields of grass or arable crops with some of the farm capable, also, of growing root crops.
One parcel has frontage on to Ellesmere's noted Mere providing significant leisure potential (subject to LA consent).
The land is classified as Grade 3 on the Agricultural Land Classification for England and Wales.
Haughton Farm extends, in all, to around 236 acres, or thereabouts.
