Key information
Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
About 204 acres (82 ha)
This large block of agricultural land lies north and east of the farmhouse and buildings and extends to 116 acres of arable, 55 acres of permanent pasture and 32 acres of woodland. If the land is sold as a separate lot, a right of way will be granted over the first part of the farm drive, between the points A and B on the sale plan, to link the public highway with an existing gateway and track which leads into the land.
Some of the undulating grass fields have a supply of mains water, currently piped from the farm buildings. The arable land has been farmed on contract by a local farmer, growing a mixture of cereal and break crops. The soils are classified as Grade 3 on the Agricultural Land Classification with some Grade 2 soils within the 39-acre field that runs along the northern boundary.
On the eastern half of the land is a spectacular valley laid out between Atgrove Wood on one side and Roundhill Wood on the other. Both woods extend to approximately 13 acres respectively and comprise a mixture of mature tree species. The woods have been managed during the vendor’s ownership and have been used as part of a local pheasant shoot.
Wick Farm is nestled amongst beautiful rolling countryside between the Somerset villages of Compton Dando, Marksbury and Hunstrete. The farm is well located for access into the popular city of Bath and commercial centre of Bristol, both within about a 9-mile drive.
Locally the farm is 2.5 miles northwest of Marksbury which offers a primary school and convenience store, closer still is the popular ‘The Pig – near Bath’ hotel at Hunstrete. Compton Dando is another quaint village situated on the River Chew and home to The Compton Inn, St Mary’s church and village hall. The village is a hub of activity with regular fêtes and seasonal festivals.
From the historic city of Bath there is access to the M4 motorway and Bath Spa train station which has regular services into London Paddington (from 1hr 13 mins). The city itself provides excellent leisure, cultural and sporting opportunities as well as offering an excellent range of schools with the most notable being Prior Park, Monkton Combe, King Edwards, The Royal High School (girls) and Kingswood. Bristol Airport is 10 miles from the farm.

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
