Attractive Suffolk arable unit with period house

Lacy Scott & Knight is bucking the trend of lotting farms in Suffolk, by offering an attractive family farm for sale as a whole.

Church Farm Brettenham’s 307 acres are mainly productive arable land with some pasture, and there is a period farmhouse along with a range of traditional and modern farm buildings.

“In Suffolk, we don’t often get whole farms coming to the market – usually they are stripped out or lotted up for sale,” said agent Rowland Beaney. “It still has the feel of an estate village, after Brettenham Park Estate was broken up 50 years ago – and there is a fair probability that it will be bought and farmed in hand.”

The farm was on the market after several generations in the same family, and had been well cared for, although the house was in need of modernisation, said Mr Beaney.

“It includes 279 acres of arable land, plus well-established pasture and woods. The medium-heavy land is capable of growing high yields of combinable crops and sugar beet.”

Church Farm is for sale by private treaty for in excess of £3m. (Lacey Scott & Knight 01284 748602)
