Great Whitcombe Manor Farm - Great Whitcombe Manor Farm comprises an attractive and versatile holding with agricultural land and a diverse range of farm buildings.

The farm is only a short drive from Newport’s extensive range of amenities, including shops, restaurants, supermarkets, schools and services, making it well placed for both lifestyle and commercial farming needs.
