Superb 1,615 acre arable unit
Tenure: Freehold
Situation: Warkworth Farms comprise a highly productive arable unit, situated to the south of the picturesque village of Warkworth and extending to about 1,615 acres. About 1429 acres are in agricultural production, and in recent years have grown potatoes, oil seed rape and wheat. At the heart of the farm is the principal house known as Cavil Head Farmhouse; a stone built house approached from a private drive. There are two semi-detached farm cottages sitting to the west of the main drive. Both the farmhouse and cottages enjoy views to the south over the surrounding farmland. The main farm buildings are also at Cavil Head and comprise an extensive range of modern and traditional buildings along with a former grain dryer, straw shed, workshop and farm office. About 170 acres of woodland offer woodcock and pheasant shooting, and extensive hedgerows and field margins are home to numerous wild grey partridge coveys. A series of tracks cross the land, and provide good access to the fields and farm steading.
Savills negotiator: Anna Thomas
Warkworth Farms comprise three farms abutting the village of Acklington and create an exceptional commercial arable farm on the highly renowned Northumberland Coastal Plain. Morpeth, 14 miles to the south, and Alnwick 13 miles to the north, both provide local services and amenities with the larger city of Newcastle upon Tyne being about 31 miles to the south.
Trains run from Alnmouth to Newcastle, and on to London (2 hours 50 mins) and Edinburgh (1 hour 15 mins).
Cavil Head Farmhouse
The principal house, known as Cavil Head Farmhouse, is constructed of stone under a slate roof, and is surrounded by lawns edged with mature shrubs and trees. The house has access from the front via a hedge lined drive and a large rear courtyard providing parking.
The accommodation is as shown on the accompanying plan. On entering the house via the rear entrance there is a hall with doors off to utility rooms, office and the kitchen. The living room, dining room and garden room are accessed off the main hall with views over the garden and surrounding farmland. Also off the hall is the downstairs WC and access through the garden room to the patio and swimming pool.
On the first floor there are three double bedrooms, two single bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside the house benefits from a large lawned garden with mature shrubs and trees to the west. The 10 m outdoor swimming pool is situated to the west of the farmhouse, and has an adjoining pool room and changing facilities adjoining the farmhouse. There is a redundant tennis court situated to the east of the Farmhouse.
Cavil Head Cottages
No 1 and 2 Cavil Head are a pair of semi-detached single storey stone built cottages under a slate roof. Both comprise a kitchen, living room with open fire, 3 bedrooms and a family bathroom. Each enjoys a southerly aspect and benefits from a lawned garden to the front, and are set back from the private road.
The Farmland
The land has previously been managed as part of a large commercial unit and is capable of growing a wide variety of intensive crops, including potatoes, oil seed rape and wheat. The majority of the fields are well drained, with significant improvements having been made to parts following reinstatement after mineral extraction. Average yields of 3.8 tonnes of wheat per acre can be expected, with the farm enjoying a medium clay loam suited to winter cropping.
Accommodation: 708 acres of land is presently farmed in-hand. A further 670 acres are presently subject to farm business tenancies, of which 382 acres will become vacant on 28th September 2009, with a further 228 acres becoming vacant on 30th September 2010 (subject to the necessary notices being served). Two fields totalling 48 acres are subject to an Agricultural Holdings Act 1986 Tenancy. Further details of these tenancies will be available in the data pack.
Woodland and Sporting
Warkworth Farms also benefits from around 170 acres of woodland, which comprise a diverse range of species and age classes and add greatly to the landscape and sporting interest.
Attractive mixed woodland copses afford amenity to Cavil Head farmstead, whilst young compartments at Chester House will confer greater landscape and wildlife impact in years to come.
A number of well stocked, mainly pine woodlands at Field House are now reaching the productive stage, while Chevington Wood is renowned as one of the best areas of woodcock habitat in the County.
The sporting rights are currently in-hand, and there is potential for the development of a grey partridge shoot. Roe stalking adds further sporting diversity.
