Sussex farm with Elizabethan heritage

A residential farm in Sussex comes to the market with pasture and a listed farmhouse.

Swains Farm, close to Partridge Green, is 110ha (273 acres) and is on the market for £3m.

The former dairy farm has been converted into a beef unit, but would be well-suited to equestrian use, said selling agent Strutt & Parker.

All the fields are laid to grass and well-fenced with four-rail fencing.

With views of the South Downs and only a few miles from direct rail links to London, the farm is expected to attract both lifestyle buyers and farmers.

Swains Farmhouse has Elizabethan origins and is grade II listed, with three bedrooms.

The farmyard includes modern livestock buildings, which are in good condition.

Swains Farm Cottage is a four-bedroom detached cottage made up of two former farm workers’ cottages.

The rolling land is grade 3, a fine silty over clay soil with five acres of woodland.

Entitlements are included in the sale, as well as sporting and mineral rights.
