Hasse Road, Soham

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION Longfield Farm Barn presents a rare opportunity to acquire a mixed-use rural estate combining residential accommodation, commercial units and storage income within a single site.

The property currently generates approximately £78,480 per annum, derived from three residential dwellings, commercial workshop units and container storage.

The residential element comprises three established dwellings which are currently let and provide reliable income supported by strong local rental demand.

The estate sits on approximately 0.60 acres, providing a combination of residential living space, commercial yard areas and storage facilities. The configuration of the site allows multiple income streams while still offering further scope for optimisation.

There may also be potential to acquire the neighbouring commercial yard (currently blurred in marketing images) which would significantly expand the overall footprint and operational control of the estate.

Opportunities combining residential security, commercial workspace and scalable storage income are increasingly rare and this property is likely to appeal to investors, business owners and those seeking a live-work rural asset. 

RESIDENCE 1 - TOP FLOOR APARTMENT The top floor apartment forms part of the converted barn and provides a self-contained residential unit currently let at £1,125 per calendar month.

The accommodation provides comfortable living space and represents a key component of the estate's residential income. 

RESIDENCE 2 - ANNEX
The annex provides an independent residential dwelling within the estate and is currently producing £1,000 per calendar month.

This property offers flexible living accommodation and contributes to the diversified income profile of the site. 

RESIDENCE 3 - SEMI DETACHED LODGE
The detached lodge provides a three-bedroom residential dwelling within the grounds and is currently let at £1,100 per calendar month.

This property offers private living accommodation separate from the main barn. 

COMMERCIAL UNITS & STORAGE
The site also benefits from a number of commercial workshop units currently producing £10,980 per annum.

In addition, there are eleven storage containers located within the yard generating approximately £13,200 per annum.

These commercial elements provide stable supplementary income alongside the residential lettings. 

INCOME SUMMARY
Current Income
£78,480 per annum

Further income growth may be achievable through optimisation of the yard space and storage capacity. 

POTENTIAL & REALISTIC GROWTH
In addition to the existing income streams, the estate offers several realistic opportunities for further growth which may appeal to investors or owner-operators looking to optimise the site over time.

Rental Reviews on Commercial Units
The existing commercial workshop units are currently occupied by long-standing tenants. While the stability of these tenants is a positive feature of the property, there may be scope for modest rent adjustments over time to better reflect market levels.

Additional Container Storage
The current yard layout offers the potential to introduce additional container storage, subject to layout and operational considerations. Container storage remains a strong low-management income stream and could further enhance the commercial performance of the site.

 

POTENTIAL ACQUISITION OF ADJOINING YARD
There may also be an opportunity to acquire the neighbouring and adjoining commercial yard, which extends to approximately one acre of additional land.

This neighbouring site currently generates its own commercial income through workshop units and container storage. Details of this income and any potential acquisition terms would be available for discussion once basic due diligence has been completed and satisfied.

If acquired, the neighbouring yard would significantly increase the overall scale of the estate, improve operational control of the surrounding land and provide further opportunities for storage expansion and commercial use.
