Grove Farm: A significant 300 acre agricultural estate with diversification potential

Held by the same family for three generations, Grove Farm occupies an elevated position with exceptional panoramic views across the Stour Valley.  Whilst the Grade II Listed farmhouse provides an attractive centrepiece to the estate, it is the farm’s versatility and future potential that makes this an exciting offering.

The farm comprises around 208 acres of arable land and approaching 95 acres of grassland, creating a well-balanced holding suited to a range of agricultural enterprises.  The arable land includes Grade 2 and 3 soils and has been successfully farmed in a rotation of winter cereals and sugar beet, demonstrating the productive capability.  Complementing this is a substantial area of pasture and meadows, ideal for grazing livestock, forage production or environmental schemes.

A key feature of Grove Farm is its impressive range of farm buildings, extending to over 30,000 sq. ft. and arranged around a series of yards covering almost 2.3 acres.  The buildings include grain stores, workshops, livestock accommodation and an extensive collection of traditional barns, providing the infrastructure required for a working farm enterprise.

Beyond traditional agricultural use, the buildings offer considerable scope for redevelopment and diversification.  In particular, a range of older barns which already benefit from full planning consent for conversion into two residential dwellings, presenting an immediate opportunity to generate additional value from the holding.  The wider farmstead may also offer further possibilities for alternative uses, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The attractive 16^th century farmhouse offers around 4,500 sq. ft of flexible accommodation currently arranged for multigenerational living.   With commanding views of the surrounding countryside, the property retains a wealth of period character and could be modernised to create a contemporary country house.

David Ward MRICS commented “Properties of this scale and versatility seldom come to the market.  Grove Farm combines productive farmland, a comprehensive range of buildings and exciting development and diversification potential, making it an exceptional opportunity for farmers, investors and rural entrepreneurs.  It’s ideally suited to a buyer looking to secure a landmark holding offering both immediate income and long-term potential.”

Grove Farm is available as a whole with a guide price of £4,000,000.  On the market with our Farms & Estates team, to arrange a viewing please contact David Ward MRICS on 01206 216550 or find out more below:
