Farm for sale

The farms offer significant agricultural, sporting, natural capital and carbon opportunities.

Lot 1 - At the heart of the farm is an attractive Grade II Listed period stone farmhouse in a wonderful position with a walled garden and stunning far reaching southerly views. Whilst in need of some modernisation, it has huge potential to be a superb family home. The house has its own drive which enters the farm from a quiet country lane through a shelter belt to the farmhouse. The house has an entrance hall leading into a central staircase hall off which are a sitting room, dining room, kitchen and breakfast/play room. In addition is the spacious family room, downstairs utility, boot room and wine cellar. There are four bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor. To the south of the house with stunning far-reaching views over the farm and wider Northumberland countryside is the lawned garden enclosed by a beautiful stone wall. The garden has huge potential. There are several paddocks close to the house and a number of woodland copses. There is a parking area and courtyard to the north of the farmhouse and then close to the house are a range of traditional stone outbuildings which are currently used for stabling and storage – they have huge potential for alternative uses. To the north of these are an array of cattle sheds that have been the heartland of the livestock operation for many years. There are three cottages in lot 1.

The farm has been run as a highly productive ring-fenced livestock unit with fertile quality pasture that has had steady investment over the years. The land is also interspersed with mature mixed woodland areas which add to the amenity and sporting possibilities. The farmland offers the opportunity to focus on commercial production, alternatively there is potential for natural capital and conservation to take prominence. There are two recently constructed steel-framed buildings with significant ridge heights and both extending to approximately 15,000 sq ft. In addition is a new storage shed along with an existing cattle shed of approximately 16,000 sq ft. This largely new yard completes this excellent livestock unit and allows a new owner to free up some of the farm buildings around the house for alternative uses.

Lot 1 - £9,500,000 - 1094.84 acres

Lot 2 - In stark contrast to the immaculate pasture fields of West Ditchburn, Hagdon Farm offers true Northumberland wilderness with Hagdon Farmhouse situated in the heart of the moor in a wonderful, secluded position with extraordinary views. Whilst the farmhouse has not been lived in very recently, it would take limited work to reinvigorate it. It has huge potential for either additional accommodation to the wider farm or as a shoot lodge or rental property. The farmhouse has an access road coming in from Eglingham to the west and comprises a sitting room, dining room, study, kitchen and bathroom along with 2 bedrooms on the first floor. A short walk behind the house is a traditional L-shaped stone outbuilding wrapping around two cattle sheds along with a Dutch barn. Whilst in need of work, these buildings also have huge potential for alternative uses and potentially further accommodation. There are approximately 100 acres of in-bye grazing around the farmhouse with the remainder being Hagdon Moor. The moor has been managed for grouse and partridge. The moor alone has an abundance of wildlife and makes for exciting sporting and conservation opportunities. There are also two conifer plantations on the moor.

Lot 2 - £2,500,000 - 915.48 acres
