Description
## Answer (1)
Shotton Farm, located in the scenic Bowmont Valley within the foothills of the Cheviots, is a comprehensive agricultural investment opportunity. The property encompasses approximately 338.43 hectares (836.28 acres) of diverse land, including arable and temporary grassland, permanent grass, hill and rough grazing, and 98.7 acres of woodland. Additionally, the farm boasts sporting rights with potential for a quality driven shoot. The farmstead includes Shotton House, a Grade II Listed property with three reception rooms and five bedrooms, and three farm cottages, one of which is in-hand. The farmstead also features a range of modern livestock buildings.
The farm is bordered by the Bowmont Water, an indirect tributary of the Tweed, and sits within the Northumberland National Park, offering considerable privacy while maintaining excellent accessibility. It is situated between Cornhill on Tweed and the Scottish border, with nearby towns providing essential services and facilities. The area is rich in history and offers a high quality of life with its beautiful scenery and leisure opportunities.
Shotton Farm is currently let on a Farm Business Tenancy until 11 November 2044, with the option for the tenant, Mr Harvey, to vacate the premises at that time. The tenant has been farming the land since 1966 and operates it in conjunction with other land, with around 200 acres under cultivation annually and a flock of 700 mule ewes and 100 suckler cows.
The land is classified as grades 3, 4, and 5 under the Ministry Land Classification Plan and ranges from 85 to 280 metres in elevation. The lower-lying fields are primarily arable, with free-draining sandy-medium loams, while the central and higher ground is predominantly permanent grass or hill pasture, with some improved areas and pockets of peat. Internal hard tracks and the public road provide access to most fields, with good field drainage and a limited field trough system.
Overall, Shotton Farm presents a unique investment opportunity with a well-presented principal house, a productive farming enterprise, and significant sporting potential, all within
