Hollygate Farm
Hollygate Farm is a highly attractive residential farm in a very well connected area of Nottinghamshire. The farm has been held by the same family since 1941, when the current owner’s grandfather bought the property as a sitting tenant from the dispersal of the HolmePierrpont Estate.
Retirement from farming has brought about a rare opportunity to purchase this complete farm holding. Historically a dairy farm, the land has been in arable rotation in recent years proving to be well suited to combinable cropping. Both sugar beet & potatoes have been grown on the farm.
The farmland comprises approximately 150.09 acres (60.74ha) arable land, approximately 2.15 acres (0.87 ha) permanent pasture with a further circa 1.65 acres (0.67 ha) of woodland, tracks and miscellaneous. The house, gardens and farmyard occupies approximately 3.08 acres (1.25 ha). In total the property is approximately 156.97 acres (63.53 ha).
The arable land has been well farmed by the current owners with a focus on sustainable farming methods such as application of biosolids, farm yard manure and Limex, combined with regular straw chopping to improve the soil health. This has led to good yields produced across the cereal and oilseed rotations in recent years. Soil tests were last carried out in 2022, and the results are available upon request.
A full cropping history from the past five years with approximate yield information is available from the Vendor’s agent upon request.
Hollygate Farm has hosted a successful seasonal Christmas shop for a number of years which has proven to be very popular. The shop sells locally grown Christmas trees, decorations and gifts, with the opportunity for further expansion of this element of the farm business.
Lot 1 - Hollygate Farm
About 98.46 acres (39.84 ha)
Guide Price: £2,925,000
Hollygate Farmhouse
The farmhouse is accessed from a private drive off Stragglethorpe Road, and has ample parking for multiple cars. There are multiple period features throughout including large bay windows, fireplaces, and traditional wooden beams. The farmhouse has previously functioned as multi-generational living and could be converted back to this with ease. The house is in working order but would benefit from further modernisation and improvement. The house benefits from a complete security system incorporating both cameras and sensor activated alarms.
The front door opens into an entrance hall with the main staircase straight ahead. Off the entrance hall is access into the cellar, two large reception rooms. Beyond this is a large hallway and useful understairs cupboard, with a further staircase to the first floor; well-presented dining room with wonderful traditional features; kitchen with oil fired Aga and adjacent utility and pantry; downstairs washroom and farm office.
On the first floor is the master bedroom & ensuite, two double bedrooms and a generously proportioned single bedroom/dressing room. There are three additional family bathrooms and two large rooms fitted as kitchens from the previous use of the property as multigenerational living. A large reception room which sits over the garages is currently used as seasonal Christmas gift shop, but could make a fantastic large bedroom or games room.
The second floor is accessed via two separate staircases and has three well proportioned double bedrooms.
Externally, lawns wrap around the front of the house, with beautiful mature trees and fruit trees. A delightful traditional dairy building is detached from the main house and is currently used as a garage and storage, but would make a wonderful annexe or home office. The south-easterly facing courtyard gives access to further garages and outbuildings which could be incorporated into the main accommodation if desired.
Farm buildings
Hollygate Farm has an extensive range of traditional red brick buildings interspersed with more modern purpose-built agricultural buildings, offering extensive potential for re-development into further residential accommodation, equestrian facilities or light commercial premises, subject to planning permission being sought. The approximate GEA of the farm buildings is 2,970 sqm. The farmyard is accessed via its own entrance from Stragglethorpe Road.
The existing modern buildings include ATCOST 400tonne grain store with a fan tunnel drying system, large open fronted machinery store and former cattle crew yards. The traditional buildings are a mixture of single storey loose boxes, a wagon hovel and high-ceilinged hay loft. The abundant opportunities for redevelopment across the farm yard give the future owners chance to make their own stamp on Hollygate Farm.
