Marketing found its foothold in a more cautious market in early autumn 2013 at a conservative guide price of £2.2m; after over 100 viewings, demand culminating from multiple bidders took the eventual selling price upward of circa 35% in excess of the guide, completing at £3m later that autumn.
Today the farm is both operational and diversified, once again operating as a fully functioning working farm with huge amount of rejuvenation in the form of state of the art farm buildings; the former working buildings and farmhouse currently being sympathetically restored and re-developed but with a modern day purpose; a bold but fine investment.
