Bentley Hall Farm lies in attractive, unspoilt open countryside yet strategically well placed close to the urban fringe. The farm lies in a ringfence to the south side of the B6036 on the eastern edge of Dronfield and Coal Aston. The farm lies between Sheffield and Chesterfield.

Description
Bentley Hall is a small farm extending to approximately 55 acres lying within a ring fence with an excellent frontage onto the council highway. The homestead is well set back from the road and includes an attractive 3 bedroom detached farmhouse together with a range of traditional and more modern farm buildings, which may offer development potential subject to obtaining planning consent. The farmland is mainly under arable rotation including soils of the Bardsey and Rivington 1 series together with some permanent pasture. There is well established attractive broadleaf woodland forming a protective shelter belt along the western boundary of the farm.

The sale offers a rare opportunity to acquire a well situated and attractive small farm offering potential for future capital growth.

Tenure & Income
The farm is let on a secure Agricultural Tenancy Agreement granted in 1958 and regulated by the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986. The tenant is a first successor and the current rent passing is £7,500 per annum.

The main terms of the tenancy include reservations of timber, mines, minerals and game to the landlord who also benefits from a resumption clause providing opportunity under certain
circumstances for the landlord to regain possession following grant of planning consent for non-farming use. The tenant is not permitted to assign the tenancy nor sublet without the landlord's consent. The tenant is responsible for most repairs with the main exceptions being main walls, exterior walls, eaves, floors, doors, windows, gutters and downpipes which are the responsibility of the landlord subject to being able to reclaim 50% of the cost from the tenant for replacement of floors, doors, windows, gutters and downpipes.

Farmhouse
A brick built detached farmhouse with part rendered walls under a slate roof. The accommodation is as shown on the floorplan attached which includes a kitchen, dining room, sitting room and further reception room on the ground floor, three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor. Farm buildings are situated mainly to the west of the farmhouse including a number of ranges of traditional brick built buildings lying nicely away from each other and offering potential for conversion subject to obtaining necessary planning consents. The more modern farm building ranges have generally been added to the traditional buildings as extensions and are used to service the tenant's beef enterprise. Whilst some of the buildings are in a poor state of condition they provide a valuable footprint and incorporate some attractive features with stone arches and lintels. The brick buildings include farmhouse range, courtyard range, stables, grain store and implement sheds with the more modern buildings including a 60 ft x 45 ft three bay fold yard plus extensions and a four bay pole framed implement shed 60 ft x 25 ft.
