Lot 1 Hawkesbury, Badminton, Gloucestershire, GL9

Court Farmhouse: A Grade II listed detached four bedroom farmhouse. The Cotswold stone farmhouse dates back to the late 17th century and is in need of modernisation. The farm buildings comprise both livestock buildings and some traditional buildings of stone and tile construction that could be re-developed (STPP).

Church Barn: A large unconverted threshing barn next to the church used for storage and by the shoot with significant potential for alternative uses subject to planning consent.

Land: The diverse and undulating productive farmland offers an excellent opportunity for a mixed farming system with both level pastureland and arable ground alongside steeper hill ground and woodland which supports a good small pheasant shoot.

To the east of the main house is a yard and large portal steel frame general purpose agricultural building used for both cattle housing and storage. On the eastern section of pasture land there is a single storey brick building known as Orange Barn which may be suitable for alternative uses subject to planning.

There are approximately 590 acres of agricultural land and 35 acres of woodland. The land at Hawkesbury is predominantly Grade 3 according to the Land Classification Map of England and Wales. The majority of the land benefits from loamy clay soils which drain well with some areas being suitable for arable cropping.

Preliminary ecological assessments indicate potential for significant Biodiversity Net Gain uplift and other natural capital opportunities.
