Urban fringe farm with lots of potential

Very few farms within London’s M25 come on the market, but Savills is offering Netherhouse Farm at Sewardstone near Chingford, Essex.

In a ring fence with small blocks of woodland, the 190-acre holding has 24,000sq ft of buildings and a five-bedroom period farmhouse. There is also about two-and-a-half acres of hardstanding, which alongside the buildings offers potential for alternative uses.

The grassland is laid to paddocks, mostly reached by hard track, while all have a water supply. The guide price for the farm is £4m with buildings including offices, stables, workshop, traditional barn, grain store and general-purpose storage. (Savills 01245 293 222; Next Move 020 8529 0122)
