Warwickshire stock farm guided at £3.6m

A traditional all-grass stock farm surrounded by arable neighbours is on the market in Warwickshire.

The 306-acre Greenlands Estate, owned by the Pilkington family, is a very well set-up stock farm which has been farmed in hand to a very high standard for the past 30 years, says Savills’ Richard Binning.

The farm has hosted the Warwickshire point-to-point for some time and the new owner would have to undertake to hold next year’s event, which brings in fee income.

“It has been lotted in such a way to give commercial farmers the chance to obtain the farmhouse, farm buildings and the majority of the land which would form a very good ring-fenced holding,” said Mr Binning.

The unit is on mainly Grade 3 clay soil and offers an eight-bed farmhouse, four cottages, a second farmhouse and a good range of modern and traditional stock buildings with a large workshop.

Lot 1 includes Greenlands House (eight beds), four cottages and 14 acres for £1.5m. This house is at the opposite end of the land to the second farmhouse and farm buildings, allowing the land to go with the farm or the big house.

Guide for the whole is £3.6m while Lot 2, Bromson Hill Farm, includes a farmhouse, farm office, buildings and 142 acres for £1.35m. A further 150 acres of bare land, including a small acreage of woodland, is on the market as Lot 3 for £750,000.

Savills recently sold a block of arable land about three miles from Greenlands. The 70.43 acres of arable land near Combrook, Stratford-upon-Avon, sold for more than its £400,000 guide price.
