Metfield Road, Fressingfield

Whittingham Hall is a superb ringfenced arable farm which offers great appeal to a range of different purchasers. As a whole, the farm is a commercially sized arable unit which has been well maintained and looked after; it is ready for a new owner to move straight in and continue the existing farming operations (the vendor is aware of additional land which could possibly be farmed in addition if required).

The Hall sits proudly within the middle of the farm’s land at the end of a mature chestnut, oak and lime tree avenue. It dates to 1653 and was originally an outbuilding that supported a moated manor house positioned north of the existing Hall. The Hall has been lovingly maintained and improved over the years to offer 8,800 square feet of comfortable and modern living space within this charming Grade II listed building. Beside the house lies a range of buildings, some traditional and dating back to the 16th Century and others modern, used for the current arable farming operations.

All of the farmland is Grade 3 on the Agricultural Land Classification maps, with the soils of the Beccles 1 Series, described as a chalky till, slowly permeable fine loam over clay. The rotation in recent years has typically been a variety of spring/ winter wheat, spring/winter barley, spring beans and oil seed rape. A cropping history and yields are available from the vendor’s agent.

There are various parcels of woodland and shelter belts within the farm which combined with some game cover, are used by a local syndicate to host a small-scale pheasant shoot.

The farm is available as a whole or can be bought in the lots described in these particulars.

This property has 554 acres of land.
