Hampton Bishop, Hereford, HR1

Situation & Description

Field Farm occupies a highly accessible position on the eastern side of Hereford, offering an unusual opportunity to acquire all or part of a former agricultural and fruit-processing site with considerable scope and flexibility.

The property is being offered as a whole or in three separate lots, comprising approximately 2.41 acres of permanent pasture; The Gatehouse, a detached former lodge requiring complete refurbishment; and an extensive range of agricultural and former fruit-processing buildings with their own vehicular access and adjoining orchard.

This is very much an opportunity where different buyers may see different possibilities. The individual lots can stand alone, while their availability together provides purchasers with the flexibility to acquire additional land, buildings or residential accommodation according to their individual requirements.

The location is particularly convenient, combining a rural setting with straightforward access to Hereford and the surrounding road network.

The Land

An attractive and useful parcel of permanent pasture extending to approximately 2.41 acres, offered as a separate lot but with the unusual advantage of additional adjoining property and buildings being available should a purchaser require them.

The land is contained within a single parcel and is considered to be in good heart, with the added interest of a number of mature fruit trees.

Access to the land will be created from the Field Farm driveway.

The acreage lends itself to a variety of amenity, grazing or smallholding uses and could be of particular interest to nearby landowners or purchasers looking for a manageable parcel of land within easy reach of Hereford.

Of particular significance is the opportunity to acquire the land in conjunction with either or both of the other Field Farm lots.

The Gatehouse, an extended brick-built former lodge requiring complete refurbishment, is available separately at a Guide Price of £265,000, while the adjoining former fruit-processing site, comprising an extensive range of agricultural and storage buildings together with its own vehicular access and orchard area, is available separately at a Guide Price of £325,000.

The land can therefore be acquired independently, combined with either of the adjoining lots, or purchased as part of the complete Field Farm opportunity.

Guide Price £75,000

VIEWING ARRANGEMENTS

Viewings will be strictly by prior appointment and will take place on designated block viewing days. As this is a former agricultural and commercial site, viewers are asked to take particular care when inspecting the property and buildings and to observe all warning and restricted access signage. The buildings are generally considered to be in good overall condition; however, some areas may present the hazards normally associated with buildings of this nature. There is strictly no access to the first floor of the partially converted stone barn. Viewers enter the site and buildings at their own risk and neither the vendors nor their agents can accept responsibility for any accident, injury, loss or damage sustained during a viewing.

AGENTS NOTE

An uplift provision will apply to the buildings at Field Farm for a period of 20 years from completion of the sale. The provision will entitle the Vendor to 30% of any increase in value arising from the grant of planning permission for an alternative or more valuable use of the buildings during that period. Full details of the uplift provisions will be set out within the contract documentation.
