White Ollands Farmhouse

White Ollands Farm sits on the eastern edge of Briston, bordered by the Fakenham Road to the south and the Edgefield Road to the north. Access to the farmhouse and centre of the farm is via the Edgefield Road.

White Ollands Farmhouse is a 3 bedroom detached farmhouse of brick elevations under a tiled roof, which was built in 1983 and has an agricultural tie. The house has been occupied by a former farm worker, who is a protected tenant, however, they are in the process of moving and therefore we are endeavouring to offer vacant possession. Please speak to the agent for more details. The house is south facing and has charming views over the surrounding farmland and countryside. On the ground floor there is a sitting room, dining room, kitchen, utility, wc and entrance porch along with a single garage. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms and a family bathroom. There are delightful views, especially from upstairs over the surrounding countryside. The house could do with some updating, and has two fireplaces, one of which operates a back boiler which heats the hot water and some of the radiators in the house. The farmhouse is served via a residential borehole and has mains electricity and a private drainage system. There is a hybrid heating system, but no full time central heating.

Manor Farm and White Ollands Farm, Briston comprise a high quality arable farm situated in North Norfolk, about 4 miles South of Holt, the popular Georgian market town with a number of independent shops, and Gresham’s School. The North Norfolk Coast, much of which is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is about 6 miles to the north and offers a wide variety of leisure and recreational pursuits along with some fine restaurants and public houses. Manor and White Ollands Farm are situated on the edge of Briston, a vibrant and well served large village with amenities including H V Graves, a renowned butcher, baker and general convenience store, a co-op with post office, and the Three Horseshoes public house which features in the 2020 good food guide. Briston also has a primary school and the neighbouring Melton Constable, which blends into Briston, also has a number of amenities, including a garage, M & M Rutland, an award winning butcher and a store.

To the south-east of the house is a pole barn used for straw and hay storage, and to the south-west of the farmhouse is a 3 bay open fronted general store. The residential borehole and pump house is just to the south of this building. The pole barn stores hay/straw that belongs to a third party. Holdover may be required until this is removed. The same person grazes the meadow in front of the farmhouse on an informal basis. The arable land at White Ollands has its own irrigation and ring main, and the pump house is further to the south from the farmhouse. There is an abstraction licence with a 30,000m³ annual limit. The land is of the Wick 3 series and has been cropped with wheat, oil seed rape, barley, sugar beet and potatoes in the past. To the south of the farmhouse is a grass paddock, which would be suitable for equestrian use.

The driveway and track that heads off in an easterly direction is designated as a road used as a public path (RUPP). There are numerous ponds, and the field sizes and shapes are suitable for modern commercial farming.

White Ollands Farm presents an attractive small residential farm in its own right, which is rare in this part of north Norfolk.
