Exciting chance to acquire a 318 acre Northumberland arable and livestock farm, with shooting and fishing opportunities, and planning consent in place for further development.
H&H Land & Estates have launched Throphill Farm to the market, located near Mitford, Morpeth in Northumberland. This is a high quality arable and livestock farm with an array of modern farm buildings and planning permission for the erection of a new 3 bedroom house in the centre of the holding.
All in good heart, the land primarily comprises good quality arable cropping, mowing and grazing land, with some woodland areas. The farm includes a range of modern agricultural buildings, all currently used for livestock housing, and there is planning consent in place for both a new three-bed dwelling and an additional agricultural building, in the centre of the holding.
Throphill Farm is for sale as a whole or in two lots at a guide price of £2,950,000 for the whole, with Lot 1 guided at £1,600,000 and Lot 2 guided at £1,350,000.
- Lot 1 consists of approximately 174.85 acres of land and a range of agricultural buildings.
- Lot 2 consists of approximately 143.16 acres of land, including the site for the development of a three-bedroom dwelling, with agricultural building, and single bank fishing rights on a 1.6km stretch of the River Wansbeck.
Giving further background, Robert Jauneika, Associate and Chartered Surveyor said: “In recent times there has been a limited amount of land and farms coming forward to the market, whilst demand has remained strong. For those looking for a farm with high quality land, potential for further development and plentiful sporting opportunities, this farm ticks all the boxes.
“Throphill Farm is a sizeable arable and livestock farm based in a beautiful and accessible location in the centre of Northumberland, within easy reach of the pretty market town of Morpeth. The farm benefits from the unusual added advantage of having planning permission for a new dwelling in open countryside, with spectacular views from the site. Altogether, this really is a tremendous, all-encompassing and considerable agricultural unit. Something which is increasingly hard to find in this part of the country.”
The land is of high quality and currently approximately 183 acres of land is down to arable cropping, with 102 acres of grassland, and the remainder forming areas of woodland, pond and steading/tracks etc. The mixed woodland, in the region of 28 acres, is a combination of standing trees and recently felled areas, much of which has been restocked with Sitka Spruce.
For anyone interested in country sporting pursuits, this farm offers both shooting and fishing potential. In recent years a syndicate shoot has utilised the woodland areas and the wider farm holding, and there is 1.60km of fishing rights on the north bank of the River Wansbeck, a river which is noted for its brown trout.
Overall, Robert concludes: ‘This is a very rare opportunity to acquire a prime, multi-faceted, piece of the Northumberland countryside and a such we expect there to be a high level of interest. To fully appreciate Throphill, and the quality of what is on offer, viewing is highly recommended, however in advance of a visit, interested parties can view the drone film of the farm on our web site.”
