Lot 1
Truthan Barton Farm and 1 & 2 Truthan Farmhouse
327 acres (133 ha)
Truthan Barton Farm
Truthan Barton Farm extends to approximately 309.15 acres (125.11 hectares) comprising a mixture of highly productive agricultural land and woodland and farm buildings with alternative use potential (subject to planning).
The agricultural land extends to approximately 280.70 acres (113.60 hectares) of arable land and 8.14 acres (3.29 hectares) of rough pasture. It is classified on the Agricultural Land Classification of England and Wales map as being Grade 3 and on the Soil Survey of England and Wales as being a combination of loamy soils & freely draining slightly acid loamy soils, suitable for a wide range of autumn and spring crops.
The land benefits from a spring fed water supply. We understand mains water runs through the farm and we assume this could be connected to (applicants to undertake their own due diligence).
There is road access at both ends of the farm.
The woodland included in the Farm Business Tenancy is in small pockets across the holding and extends in all to approximately 16.24 acres (6.57 hectares) of predominantly broadleaf woodland.
There are farm buildings set centrally within the farm and a secondary set at the southern end of the holding near 1 & 2 Truthan Farmhouse, each with a private spring fed water supply. Either or both locations may offer some alternative re-use potential, subject to planning.
Truthan Barton Farm is currently let on a seven year Farm Business Tenancy expiring 29th September 2026 (subject to the relevant notices being served). The current rent passing is around £26,000 per annum plus a share of any rent received from sub-letting.
1 & 2 Truthan Farmhouse
A pair of semi-detached cottages located at the southern end of the holding set back away from the public highway along a short private track, each with off street parking and front and rear gardens overlooking the surrounding farmland.
1 Truthan Farmhouse is a 3 bedroom semi-detached cottage in need of modernisation and subject to a lifetime tenancy under the Rent Act 1977. A Fair Rent is set by the Rent Officer.
2 Truthan Farmhouse is a 2 bedroom semi-detached cottage. On the ground floor there is an entrance hall, a kitchen with modern fitted units and an oil-fired Rayburn, plus a living room, cloakroom & study. On the first floor there are two bedrooms and a family bathroom.
We understand that both cottages’ EPC ratings are below the required standard for letting and therefore the purchaser will be required to apply for exemptions or undertake improvements in order to comply, where relevant.

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
