Well farmed Somerset mixed unit on market
Retirement brings Leigh Farm at Langford Budville to the market. This mixed holding near Wellington in Somerset is in a secluded setting on the edge of the Taunton Vale.
As well as the Grade II listed farmhouse house, there is a three-bedroom cottage, which is let on an assured shorthold tenancy. The former dairy holding is now a mixed arable and livestock unit and includes a large range of traditional buildings. These include a granary, cider house, mill, cart shed, stables and barn, some of which have alternative use potential.
The wide range of modern buildings includes a machinery store, several covered yards, silage clamp and Dutch barn.
The farmstead sits centrally in almost 83ha (205 acres) of land, which is either level or gently undulating and is mainly fertile and free-draining red soil. All fields have either natural or piped water supply and the unit has been farmed to a high standard, says Tony Overhill, of Greenslade Taylor Hunt.
Leigh Farm is for sale as a whole or in up to four lots, with an overall guide price of ÂŁ2.55m. The sale will include 92.79ha of single farm payments entitlements and the holding has common grazing and shooting rights on Langford Heathfield. (Greenslade Taylor Hunt 01884 243 000)
