A 'significant' heritage site consisting of 508 acres of prime farmland with a price tag of £4.8 million has been put on the market by Carter Jonas.
Carter Jonas, a national property consultancy, has launched Glebe Farm on behalf of leading landowner, Buccleuch.
Comprising 508 acres of primarily prime arable land and with a guide price of £4,800,000, Glebe Farm is one of the largest assets to come onto the market in Northamptonshire in the last twelve months.
As a long-term asset belonging to Boughton Estate, Glebe Farm offers a rare opportunity to invest in a holding that has not been brought to the open market for generations.
Available for sale as a whole, or in four separate lots, Glebe Farm comprises a stone built, four-bedroom, period farmhouse, along with a collection of traditional farm buildings.
Accessed via a private drive, the farmhouse is situated on the edge of the farmyard, while a range of adjoining barns provide potential for expansion of the farmhouse or a separate annex subject to obtaining the necessary consents.
The six traditional farm buildings are currently let for commercial use, and along with the roof mounted solar PV scheme, provide an alternative source of income.
'Unique opportunity'
Predominantly a commercial arable farm, the property is comprised of approximately 414 acres of arable land, 79 acres of grassland, and 10 acres of woodland.
Ben Ainscough, Rural Associate – Midlands, Carter Jonas, comments: “The sale of Glebe Farm offers a unique opportunity to acquire a parcel of land that has not been brought to the market for generations.
“The farmhouse, yard and agricultural buildings have the potential to form a sizeable family home, while offering further scope for conversion for alternative uses.
“Occupying a private position in the Northamptonshire countryside, Glebe Farm is within easy distance of the nearby towns of Kettering, Corby and Oundle, while train links into London St Pancras take only an hour from Kettering Station.
“Given the scale and opportunity of Glebe Farm, we are expecting interest from local farmers, lifestyle buyers and investors from across the country.”
