The Farm

Peaslows Farmhouse is a stone built farmhouse which benefits from 3 double bedrooms, underfloor heating in the kitchen and numerous traditional features.

The Farm has until recently been the base of a highly productive dairy unit housing a 230 head dairy herd producing an average of 12,500 litres in addition to young stock and followers. Approximately 370 animals were housed on the farm.

The farm benefits from a range of predominantly modern steel portal framed farm buildings covering over 38,000 square feet (3,530 square metres) in total. Included in these are the milking parlour, dairy unit with 188 cubicles and mattresses, a further cubicle building with electric scrapers and further livestock and general purpose buildings.

The dairy unit is built on slats which provide 100,000 gallons of underground storage. There also is a one and a half million gallon slurry pit, silage clamps, a borehole water supply supplying the cattle sheds and solar panels delivering around £8,000 of benefit per annum.

The land extends to about 169.89 acres (68.759 hectares) of predominantly permanent pasture divided into numerous grazing and mowing enclosures by a series of well-maintained stone walls. The land is split into 4 distinct lots with Lot 1 being sub-divided further, as detailed below and identified on the sale plan. All of the lots benefit from access onto a public highway.
