About this property

  • Best Offers Informal Tender date set for 12:00 Wednesday 8th June - contact agent for details.

    Winterley Pool Farm was once part of the Doddington Estate belonging to the Delves Broughton family. It was sold as part of a wider property sale in 1911, only about seven years after the construction of the farmstead. It remains a commercial farm offering the rare combination of significant residential appeal, high quality farmland and established diversification income.

    The farm extends to about 134 acres of which about 102 acres are focused on cereal production and the two fishing pools total approximately 10 acres.

    Winterley Pool Farm occupies an attractive rural position on the edge of the village. The farmstead sits to the north west of the farm and is approached via a private road which continues beyond the farmhouse to the buildings and bisects the land.

    The Farmhouse
    Winterley Pool Farmhouse was constructed in 1904 and has brick elevations beneath a tiled roof. It is a handsome property providing well planned family accommodation which was extended in 2018 to provide an impressive family kitchen from which there are lovely views over the gardens towards the adjoining woodland.

    The farmhouse is set in pleasant gardens featuring a range of mature plants and shrubs and with lawns and a kitchen garden. They provide an ideal back drop to the house and excellent areas for outside dining and entertaining.

    In addition to the open plan kitchen, on the ground floor is a boot room, utility room, a drawing room, dining room and sitting room and on the first floor five bedrooms and two bathrooms (one en suite).

    Farm Buildings
    At the rear of the house is a pretty courtyard of brick buildings primarily used for garaging and storage. They offer significant potential for conversion for alternative uses including home
    offices, leisure facilities, further garaging and stabling. The current owners have investigated with planning advisors the potential for the residential conversion of the buildings.

    Beyond there is a range of modern buildings, including a large grain store and further agricultural storage buildings adjacent to the traditional brick barns. All of the buildings benefit from mains electricity and water supply.

    Farmland
    The farmland extends to approximately 111 acres with the majority of the land being productive Grade 2 and 3 arable land in manageable enclosures. In addition, there is approximately 9 acres of pasture land.

    Currently two crops of silage are taken off the pasture land. The arable land is in a cereal crop rotation. The land is down to Winter Oats which will be harvested in 2022 with stubbles left. Previous cropping history is available from the vendor's agents.

    The farmland is accessed through the main farmyard.

    In addition, Winterley Pool benefits from approximately 10 acres of stocked Carp pools with 20 pegs between the two pools.

    There is approximately 7 acres of mature woodland surrounding the pools.

    The soil type is Class 10, being freely draining slightly acid sandy soils, under the Provisional Agricultural Land Classification scheme the is classified as Grade 2 with some Grade 3.

    Carp Lakes
    Winterley Pool is a fishing lake that serves as the centre-point to Winterley. The pool was formerly used to power a corn mill, with water flowing through a channel cut to Fowle Brook. There are two pools to fish; the larger front pool (8 acres) and the smaller Match Pool (2.4 acres) to the rear. The main pool has one pair of mute swans and various species of geese.

    The vendors have run a successful Carp fishing business, selling peg access online for the 20 pegs during the season from April to November. Further detail of the enterprise is available from the Vendor's Agent.
