Description
The Blyford Estate occupies a most enviable position in the countryside of north Suffolk, being a rural idyll of seclusion but in close proximity to the hugely desirable and much lauded heritage Suffolk Coast. Spanning the River Blyth, the Estate varies from peaceful grazing marshes at the southern end, through high quality irrigated land suitable for vegetable production to large scale arable landscapes with picturesque arteries of hedges and woodland running throughout. The obvious amenity appeal of the estate is supported by a diversified income stream which includes a let residential portfolio and a range of commercial buildings across a number of farmsteads.
The Land
A superb farming estate with a variety of soil types, from productive light root-crop growing land and fuller bodied commercial arable land to the north, through to low-lying wetlands in the centre of the Estate. The Estate has a traditional feel with a network of well-maintained tracks throughout providing access to a large majority of the land from the public highway.
The picturesque marshes and meadows which sit either side of the River Blyth lie in soil of the Mendham series, a deep peat over clay which seasonably floods. This land has been grazed by a local cattle farmer. Rising up the gentle undulations to the north and south, the soils are predominantly of the Newport 4 series being deep, well drained sand suited more to the growing of root crops and barley. As the topography levels to the north, soils of the Beccles 1 series can be found, a fine loam over clay most suited to the growing of conventional cereal crops.
Located in the centre of the arable land is Blyford Wood, totalling approximately 65 acres. This ancient woodland has been well maintained and actively managed to a high standard, offering a wide selection of native broadleaf trees as well as good sporting potential.
The arable land has been farmed under a Contract Farming Agreement by a local contractor, with periodic licences granted over the lighter land to various specialist contractors for the growing of potatoes, onions and pigs. It is understood that the farming contractor would be pleased to continue to farm the land for the Purchaser (subject to terms).
Location
Blyford is a charming village with the successful Adnams brewery public house sitting on the Southwold Road and surrounded by the estate.
