Middle Horsleyhope Farm, a substantial livestock farm overlooking the Derwent Valley in County Durham, has come to market for offers over £2,250,000. The property includes a traditional four-bedroom farmhouse, a diverse range of modern and traditional agricultural buildings and approximately 329 acres of land.
The farm is situated in an accessible location with attractive views over rolling countryside and the neighbouring grouse moor of Muggleswick.
A characterful stone-built farmhouse offers spacious accommodation with several original features and would benefit from refurbishment and modernisation.
The steading includes a varied range of modern and traditional agricultural buildings, including livestock sheds, stone barns, an open-fronted shed, a former stable block, timber-clad outbuildings and a Dutch barn, providing extensive and versatile accommodation for farming use.
John Coleman, Head of Farm Agency, GSC Grays said: “Middle Horsleyhope Farm is a versatile and well-equipped upland livestock farm which has been well maintained with excellent productive meadowland and sheltered pastures. It is a substantial holding which offers purchasers an excellent opportunity to further develop and modernise to suit their own requirements.”
The farm is divided into two blocks by a local road with the largest comprising 262.28 acres broken down into roughly 78 acres of meadow grassland suitable for mowing hay or silage and subsequent grazing, 126 acres of permanent pasture suitable for grazing livestock, 47 acres of rough grazing grassland capable of supporting livestock, with potential for improvement through management and 9 acres of semi-natural amenity woodland, 3.43 acres of which is designated as ancient woodland.
The second block is made up of 66.74 acres of Grade 5 rough grazing grassland, capable of supporting livestock with the potential for improvement through management.
The farm is currently farmed on a Farm Business Tenancy Agreement which terminates in October 2026 at which point vacant possession will be provided. While there are no Environmental Land Management (ELM) or stewardship schemes currently associated with the land there is the opportunity to enter future schemes.
Stanhope, 13 miles away, offers a range of local amenities, while Consett, three miles away, provides a wider selection of shops and services. The City of Durham is approximately 16 miles from the property.
Middle Horsleyhope Farm is being offered for sale as a whole or in two lots through GSC Grays Farm Agency for offers over £2,250,000. Tel 01748 829203.
