A quality 114 acre organic livestock farm with significant environmental and conservation appeal. The ring fenced farm was built in 1819 by G. P. Watkins and is being sold with the original acreage extending to some 114 acres or thereabouts of productive, permanent, improved pasture which is laid to ridge and furrow and has high carbon capture ability. The land is in one block with a green lane leading from the farmyard to most of the fields providing easy movement of livestock, in addition there is roadside access to most of the fields. The farm is ideally suited for a livestock unit and has been much improved by the current owner. Holding full organic status, the farm has been sensitively managed with silage and grazing fields and is a wildlife haven being a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) with designation for the Golden Plover and Water Voles with many other rare species making it their home including Lapwings and Red Kites etc. The homestead, approached via a long private drive, has a range of appealing, traditional stone built outbuildings some of which adjoin the farmhouse. The farmhouse has been renovated by the current owner, however there is further potential to extend, convert and remodel, subject to the necessary consents to create a magnificent home. In addition, there is a selection of modern agricultural buildings. Recent renovations completed on the agricultural buildings have ensured that they are compliant to the NVZ regulations. As the country transitions to the net zero target, the carbon capture capabilities, environmental benefits, and size of Longridge Farm give a rare potential for a sustainable, environmental friendly, low density, practical unit to be purchased. To fully appreciate what this pleasant farm has to offer, an early inspection is strongly recommended.
