LOT 1 - Home Farmyard

An extensive range of farm buildings of various character and construction methods, including a Grade II Listed Coach House. The farmyard comprises ten separate buildings which together extend to approximately 2,581 square meters (27,781 square foot). There is significant potential for redevelopment of some of the buildings or the entire site, subject to attaining the necessary consents. In total Lot 1 extends to 2.42 hectares (5.99 acres), including the farmyard and access.

The Coach House is a large brick building constructed in the early 1800s, and contains a pair of two bedroom apartments on the first floor. On the ground floor there are a number of stables, equestrian storage space and general storage. The remaining buildings are a combination of utilitarian agricultural buildings and traditional buildings. The building schedule overleaf provides further information.

Home Farmyard is mainly surrounded by attractive mature woodland on all sides, with an area of woodland to the South extending to approximately 0.96 hectares (2.37 acres) which is also included within Lot 1. The farmyard benefits from mains water, electricity and telephone services. Currently there is a private sewerage system for the farmyard, although we understand that mains drainage is located nearby (within the wider property).

LOCATION
Home Farm is well located between the centres of Watton at Stone and Ware, south east of the village of Sacombe. The primary access to the land is taken off the A602 via the main park access track. Sacombe Park is located approximately 3.2 miles north west of Ware, 2.2 miles east of Watton at Stone and 4.2 miles north east of Hertford. The land benefits from main road connections, including easy access to the A10, A414 and A1(M).

ACCESS
Primary access is taken from the A602 via the Sacombe Park access track to the south of the property and as hatched brown on the enclosed plan. Secondary access routes are present to the north. If sold separately, it is intended that Lot 1 will purchase the main access routes within the sale area. Full right of access will be granted to the other lots, and retained for residential properties, to provide sufficient access where required. The vendors also reserve the right to a services corridor for the benefit of the retained properties, the location of which is to be agreed.

TENURE & OCCUPATION
Home Farmyard is available freehold with vacant possession on the majority of the buildings, except where indicated below. There are currently two residential tenants, one in each of the flats

site who occupies buildings 4 and 6, and pays a rent of £1,100 per calendar month.
