Extending to approximately 32 acres, Hartleton Farm is a versatile mixed site with an established business and scope to develop the income streams further given the location and an existing consent to build 22 semi-detached holiday lodges over two locations on the farm.
The farm is tucked away in an accessible location close to good motorway links. There are two main access points to the farm connected by a long sweeping driveway. The principle house is set at the top of this long private driveway and enjoys superb views across Hartleton Water and the fields on either side of it. Built in 1994, the property extends to around 2,740 square feet over two floors. It briefly comprises 4 first floor double bedrooms (including one with an en-suite) and a family bathroom. On the ground floor, there is a further double bedroom with en-suite, a study, drawing room, snug, a large farmhouse style kitchen/dining room, utility and a cloakroom. The house has been maintained well and is presented in excellent order throughout.
Static Caravans
Tucked away to the south of the site are 10 static caravans all less than 10 years old with 3 units having been replaced in the past 3 years. Managed by a third party, net income from the letting of these units is approximately £70,000 per annum.
Services: Modern waste treatment plant to the house, mains electricity, water and oil fired central heating. Three phase power is on site.
Set down in a shallow valley, there are two large lakes fed by the Rudhall Brook. 'Hartleton Water' extends to around 11.79 acres including the islands and feeds into 'Drummonds Dub' below which extends to a further 11.64 acres also including the small islands. Hartleton Farm owns the fishing rights to Drummonds Dub and three of the four banks (not including the dam).
The Fishing Club
Managed by a third party under an annual tenancy agreement, the Hartleton fishing syndicate comprises around 350 members at any one time who have access to 34 pegs across the two lakes. Coarse fish in the lakes include carp up to around 30lb, bream, tench, and perch. Match fishing also takes place with the site hosting up to around 20 matches a year. There is a club house with electricity and washing/shower facilities and a separate toilet block.
