BTF Partnership is offering for sale a ring fenced grass farm with an extensive range of good quality and useable outbuildings including a farmhouse, former classroom, butchery, farm shop and offices extending to over 33,700sqft with 59.55 acres of pasture and in total 66.23 acres with a guide price of £1.5 million.
A further 162 acres of permanent pasture is available adjoining the farm, subject to separate negotiation with a guide price in excess of £800,000.
Monkshill Farm, close to Faversham, Kent, has until recently been used as a learning centre by the Royal School for Deaf Children, Margate and was open to the public with a popular farm shop. The Grade III land is used as permanent pasture and is divided into useful sized fenced paddocks and is best suited to livestock grazing.
Monkshill Farmhouse is a well maintained detached three-bedroom property which overlooks the Swale Estuary on the North Kent coast and has far reaching views towards Blean Hills.
In addition to the farmhouse, there are a range of 16 buildings at Monkshill, some of which have already been diversified for other uses:
• The Granary – an office and conference facility 1,068sqft
• The farm shop - includes a dining area and café – 2,036sqft
• The classrooms – a range of three buildings with associated kitchens and WCs 3,686sqft
There is a useful range of farm buildings including butchery, stable blocks, workshops, storage barns, livestock buildings and a poultry abattoir of good specification with chiller stores.
Stuart Sillars at BTF Partnership comments: “This is a very interesting and unique property which has come to the market and presents an excellent opportunity to continue as a farm business, but with a range of other business opportunities on site with the extensive range of buildings.”
“The farm has until recently been used as a learning centre and has been open to to the public and it could also continue to be used in this capacity by another organisation. The Farm is situated between Faversham and Whitstable within easy access of the A299.”
“I anticipate there will be significant interest in this property as farms of this size and location, with the sheer range of useful outbuildings are very rare to the open market. It is a truly unique opportunity to relocate a business, or to expand an existing farm business with a range of buildings that could generate further income. Given the complexity of the site, it is recommended professional advice is sought on the range and use of the buildings in the future.”
