Braham Farmhouse

Braham Farmhouse is a well proportioned, attractive, period property extending to approximately 3,218 sq ft. While the house as it stands today is predominantly Victorian, the property is rich in history and is associated with records dating back to the Domesday Book.

Immediately upon entering the house through the front door, you are welcomed into a central hallway, with a dining room to the right and a drawing room to the left, both featuring large bay windows overlooking the front garden. The drawing room opens into a generous kitchen, which includes an Aga, ample storage, tiled flooring and a daily dining area. To the rear of the house behind the dining room is an office which has a door leading out to the back of the house. Beyond the kitchen is a large utility room and WC, and the back door leads into the former back kitchen, currently used as a boot room.

Upstairs, is a gallery landing leading to two double bedrooms and one single bedroom at the front of the house, a further double bedroom and two family bathrooms in the middle, and another double bedroom to the rear. In addition, there are three unused bedrooms at the rear of the property, requiring full refurbishment, which are accessed via a second staircase from the former back kitchen. The southern elevation of the roof features a 4 kW solar array.

The house is situated to the back of the farmyard, at the end of the drive and occupies a position among its garden with a range of mature shrubs and trees. Attached to the house at the rear is a garage, garden store, workshop and loft space. There is an open ended Nissen hut behind the house, currently used as a garage space.

The bungalows are both let under Assured Periodic Tenancies, more information on which is available from the selling agents.

Braham Farm Buildings

A range of modern and traditional farm buildings form the heart of Braham Farm, providing storage for machinery, crops, seed and fertiliser as well as livestock.

Farmland

Extending to a total of about 270.58 acres (109.508 hectares), the land at Braham Farm comprises a mixture of arable farmland, managed in a traditional crop rotation, grassland, woodland and miscellaneous areas including buildings and tracks.

There is access direct onto the A10, via an internal farm track that runs through the farm. There are two outlying fields (lot 2) totalling about 27.42 acres which are also accessed directly from the A10.

The majority of land is classified as Grade 3 with some areas of Grade 1 and 2 on the Soil Map of England and Wales. The soils are fertile clay based suited to the growing of high yielding conventional cereal crops. The land is let under a short term Farm Business Tenancy and vacant possession will be provided post harvest 2026.
