West Farm

West Farmhouse is an attractive Grade II listed property built in the mid-19th century of brick under a hipped slate roof. The house is in good condition and comprises kitchen/breakfast room, storeroom, utility room, office, dining room, drawing room, sitting room, four bedrooms and two bathrooms. It is surrounded by delightful gardens enclosed by a high yew hedge.

Westway is a four bedroom detached cottage, formally two semi-detached cottages, located to the north of the farmhouse. It comprises three reception rooms, shower room, bathroom, kitchen, cloakroom, utility room and is surrounded by a well-maintained hedged garden. Westway is currently occupied under an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST).

Situated to the north east of the farm buildings are two semi-detached three bedroom cottages both with their own garden and single garage. They use the main farm driveway for access and are both currently occupied under an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST).

Situated north of the farmhouse across a concrete yard lies a range of traditional brick and flint farm buildings which have been extended in some areas with modern additions. Some buildings are used in hand for agricultural purposes and others that are generating an attractive income in excess of £40,000 per annum. The site offers potential for further commercial lettings or conversion for alternative uses subject to planning consent.

The land extends north and west from the farm yard and can be divided into 444 acres of arable land, 24 acres of pasture and 32 acres of woodland. The majority of the arable fields are of good sizes suitable for modern farming equipment and well accessed by internal farm tracks. The land is Grade 3 on the Agricultural Land Classification and of a freely draining slightly acid loamy soil. The outgoing tenant has cropped it with a combination of cereal crops, oil seed rape and potatoes (grown on contract). Throughout the farm there are numerous woods, copses and shelterbelts which, combining with the undulating land and strategically located game crops, provide the basis of an exceptional family shoot. There are three grass paddocks located east of the core farm, all accessed independently from the A33. The fields are occupied on licence by a local grazier.

West Farm is located in an attractive area of rolling countryside in a very popular part of Hampshire between Basingstoke and Winchester. The farm borders the A33/M3 to the south and the A303 to the north making it extremely accessible.

Locally the farm is two miles south of North Waltham which offers a primary school, convenience store and pub. The quaint villages of Dummer and Micheldever are also within three miles as well as the mainline railway station at Micheldever Station (4 miles) offering regular services in to London Waterloo.

West Farm is a wonderful example of a productive arable farm; its location gives the property excellent access onto the national road and rail networks’ and provides considerable opportunities as a residential farm and/or to further develop the existing farm buildings for commercial or alternative uses.

The farm sits in an elevated position with the local highest point of 183 metres above sea level within its boundary, offering some far-reaching views of the surrounding landscape. The farm has some excellent agricultural land and a varied game shoot which has been enjoyed by the same family for generations.
