What is the Future For Historic Farms?
Penny Churchill
September 01, 2006

Creativity and imagination could give new life to established agricultural operations Like an early autumn mist, a deep sadness hangs over the historic Evistones estate at Rochester, in the heart of Redesdale, North Northumberland, as Britain's biggest experimental hill farm winds down its operations, in advance of total closure early next year. Since 1967, most of the estate's 2,447 acres of land have been let to MAFF/Defra as a livestock research farm run by ADAS Consulting. But in March of this year, the estate's owners, staff and managers were shocked when ADAS gave notice of its intention to quit, citing 'lack of Government support for experimental husbandry' as the reason for its decision...

The shape of things to come at Alderley Farm, Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, has been outlined in impressive style by its present owner, who bought the 365-acre former working dairy farm some five years ago, and has since transformed it into a classic small Cotswold sporting and conservation estate.

The old dairy complex has been converted to an immaculate six-bedroom main house with cottages, staff quarters, offices, stabling and outbuildings laid out in the style of an 18th-century courtyard. There is planning consent to make the main house even grander by adding a three-storey 'Queen Anne wing' with three further large reception rooms on the ground floor, and additional sleeping accommodation on the first and second floors.

But what makes Alderley Farm so unique, says Clive Hopkins of Knight Frank, is its setting in its own secluded valley on the edge of the Cotswold escarpment, five miles from Badminton. The estate includes virtually everything that can be seen from the house, with 80 acres of woodland offering great sporting potential, and the rest permanent pasture which provides a parkland setting for the house and gardens. Joint selling agents CKD Kennedy Macpherson (020-7409 1944) and Knight Frank (020-7629 8171) quote a guide price of £7m to £8m.

Edgcote House, Oxfordshire

The Market: Mystery buyer lands £30m country pile.

There's money around at the top of the market. This place took just days to find a taker - who paid nearly £5m more than the guide price, says Helen Davies

No photographs were taken, and no glossy brochures were printed. Only a handful of select buyers were invited for a tour of the hidden Regency splendour of Edgcote House and its 1,700 acres of park and farmland. And it sold within a fortnight.
