A complete organic farm in a unique location adjacent to Steyning with farmhouse, cottage, agricultural buildings, battery storage, land and generous river frontage. Approximately 249.31 acres

DESCRIPTION
In brief - 5 bedroom farmhouse (Barn Croft), 1 bedroom cottage (Stable Cottage), mainly pasture farm, battery storage and incredible access to the River Adur.

Built in the 1980s, Barn Croft is a detached 5 bedroom house with mature gardens, greenhouse, shed, enclosed pool and pond. This would benefit from some modernisation or full refurbishment if required.

Stable Cottage provides extra accommodation with the benefit of open plan living/dining/ kitchen, bathroom and stairs to a bedroom space. This currently provides a rental income.

Near the farmhouse there is a former kennel building and beyond this a range of outbuildings. They include a circa 1960s Ascot cattle yard and straw shed, circa 1970s steel framed cattle yard and steel framed small workshop with adjoining cattle yard, a timber framed building used as machinery shed and a couple of older buildings. In total approximately 20,000 sq.ft. (not measured or surveyed) and these may be suitable for development (STPP).

To the north of the farmyard and buildings there is a battery storage building generating an annual income. The farm is also next to a large electrical sub-station which might bring more solar or battery storage options in the future.

Organic for about 20 years comprising mostly grass land with some arable. Stewardship including OELS/HLS. It also has the benefit of significant BNG credit potential. The farm has just over 2 miles of access to the River Adur.
