INTRODUCTION
Bar Farm at Longstanton is an exceptionally well located residential farm situated to the north west of Cambridge thereby delivering both the charm of rural life and excellent connectivity. The property includes a 4 bedroom Victorian farmhouse, commercial arable farmland let on a Farm Business Tenancy and a range of modern and traditional farm buildings with potential for change of use (subject to planning).

Bar Farm is situated in an enviable location between the A14 and the Northstowe development at Longstanton. As such, the property may offer longer term strategic potential. Bar Farm has been in the ownership of the Sivewright family for generations and comes for sale following the passing of Thomas Sivewright in May 2020.

BAR FARMHOUSE
Bar Farmhouse was constructed using red brick elevations under a slate roof. Extending to over 2,000 sqft, the house is well proportioned and suitable for occupation by either an owner/ manager or a tenant.

Immediately upon entering the house through the front door is a central hallway with a dining room to the right and a sitting room to the left, both with south facing bay windows looking over the gardens. The generous kitchen is to the rear of the house and includes ample storage and food preparation areas, a woodburning stove, tiled flooring and a daily eating area. The back door leads into a large shower room with additional storage before opening onto the kitchen.

Upstairs are two double bedrooms to the front of the house, a double bedroom and a single bedroom to the rear and a family bathroom.

The house occupies a central position set among its garden with a range of mature shrubs and trees. A brick building to the west of the house has previously been used for garden storage and a home office. Beyond are a pair of fenced paddocks.

BAR FARM BUILDINGS
A range of modern and traditional farm buildings sit to the north of Bar Farmhouse and are accessed via the slip road heading off the B1050. When the land was farmed in-hand they formed the heart of the farming business providing storage for machinery, crops, seed and fertiliser.

Whilst many of the buildings are currently unused, they may have potential for change of use into either residential or commercial purposes (subject to securing the necessary planning consents).

FARMLAND
The land at Bar Farm leads on from the farm buildings and principally comprises 3 large arable fields of sufficient scale and shape ideal for efficient modern farming methods. There are smaller areas of grassland and unproductive areas.

The land is classified as Grade 3 on the Soil Map of England and Wales. The soils are of the Hanslope series, a calcareous clay loam most suited to the growing of high yielding conventional cereal crops. In recent years the land has been occupied by a renowned local farmer under a Farm Business Tenancy who it is understood would be pleased to continue to farm the land for the Purchaser.
