Description
Bourne Barn Farm is a working beef and arable farm with two residential properties and office space, extending to over 200 acres. This includes a split of 100 acres of pasture, 80 of which is temporary pasture, and 100 acres of Grade 3 arable land which is farmed in hand. The land is currently grazed by cattle and the arable rotations include forage for the livestock. There is significant potential for alternative uses, such as amenity use, equestrian, environmental enhancement, or development of land and buildings.
Lot 1 comprises a charming Grade II listed traditional 3 bedroom farmhouse. The property offers potential for extension, subject to planning permission and listed building consent. Located on the other side of the farmyard is a modern barn conversion, which is Agriculturally Tied to the farm. The property benefits from separate parking and a private garden to the rear. There are a range of modern and traditional farm buildings extending to 1,489.12 sqm (16,028.78 sq ft), as well as converted workshops and a traditional office block divided into four units. These are currently occupied and subject to various commercial tenancies which produce a useful income for the farm. Lot 1 extends to 97.42 acres of pasture and temporary grass on the banks of the River Colne.
Lot 2 is accessed off the B1508 down a farm track with substantial hard standing and parking. The lot extends to 94.81 acres of arable land with a modern farm building which was previously a grain store, of 468.06 sqm (5,038.16 sq ft), which is currently
occupied. The barn has 3 phase electricity supply. The building offers significant opportunity for Class MA conversion, subject to the necessary consents, with stunning views over the surrounding land.
