Description
Witton Hall Farm is a beautifully situated commercial arable farm located just 4 miles north-west of Durham city, with excellent modern farm buildings and a range of arable land. The farm is situated within a ring-fence, with the River Browney flowing through it, providing a natural setting and enhancing the conservation, amenity, and sporting value of the farm. The farm's 381 acres of arable land is mainly level or gently sloping, with a mix of loamy and clay soils, and is currently entered into an SFI scheme and a mid-tier stewardship scheme. The farm also has 39 acres of grassland and a former compound site owned by Northumbrian Water, which may be available to the purchaser. The farm's woodland and shelterbelts add to its natural landscape value and wildlife corridor, and there is potential for up to 70 BNG units on the farm. The farm's modern buildings include approximately 6,000 tonnes of grain storage, a 22-tonne per hour Alvan Blanch grain dryer, and associated conveyors and reception intake pit. The farm is a rare opportunity to acquire a large commercial farming enterprise with excellent facilities and a private and accessible location.
