Wylye Down FarmBapton Manor, Bapton, Warminster, BA12 0SB

Wylye Down Farm comprises beautiful, rolling downland and a selection of buildings, connected by an excellent network of roads and tracks.

Around 645 acres of the farmland is currently in arable production, growing a rage of crops including wheat, barley, oils seed rape, beans and maize. Many of the fields are of significant scale, facilitating larger machinery and more efficient, modern farming practices.

Steeper banks and valleys, are laid to permanent pasture, which provide grazing and environmental benefits; two areas adjacent to Wylye Down National Nature Reserve are designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interests. As with the farmland in other lots, it is currently farmed under a Contract Farming Agreement.

Together with the naturally undulating character of the land, mixed woodland areas enhance the amenity and sporting credentials of the farm.

Bake Buildings

The Buildings at Bake Farm form part of the Contract Farming Agreement and are used for silage as well as general farm storage, however, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents there may be scope to repurpose or increase the footprint of these buildings. The Bake buildings are accessed off Cow Drove, with direct access to the A303 less than 200m away.

Wylye Down Buildings

A range of general purpose buildings on the site of an historic (now almost completely disappeared) farmstead overlooking Wylye Down.

Shoot and Stalking

Wylye Down Farm enjoys significant potential for an extensive partridge and pheasant shoot. The mix of gently rolling and steep valleys would lend itself to the making of a range of sporting drives. The shooting rights were, in previous years, let to a renowned local shoot. A hut has been sited in a private position with superb views over Wylye Down and the farm and would make a comfortable shelter on shoot days
