Farm with listed farmhouse near Saffron Walden up for sale

Clavering Hall Farm - which includes a seven-bedroom brick-built listed hall dating back to 1842 - includes productive arable land and a 2,600 tonne grain storage facility.

Three further homes are let on Assured Shorthold Tenancies and commercial lettings total £29,570 a year.

Around 1.35 miles of river run through the farm which lies in a picturesque part of north-west Essex.

The area is described as picturesque and the local pub - The Cricketers at Clavering which is now owned by the Chestnut Group - was where celebrity chef Jamie Oliver grew up.

Gi D’Angibau, director in the rural agency team for Savills in Essex, described it as an "excellent ring fenced arable farm with additional income streams". 

"Positioned in an idyllic setting, the farm boasts fields on either side of the River Stort and presents an appealing arable unit complemented by a collection of practical farm buildings," she said.

"Built in the early 19th century with subsequent additions, the Grade II listed main residence offers captivating views of the surrounding farmland and  incorporates an adjoining annex to include three reception rooms, seven bedrooms and two bathrooms.

She added: "The land itself has been very well managed over the years under a stubble to stubble contracting arrangement with a local farmer and has consistently produced high yielding cereal crops.

"Although the contractors have been served notice – with the agreement coming to an end after harvest 2024 – they are keen to continue with any new owners.”

Clavering Hall is in a prominent position and was built in the early 19th century with views of surrounding farmland and the river.

There are three other residences on the farm - four-bedroomed Sheepyard Cottage and semi-detached homes 1 & 2 Highlands Cottages, which have two and three bedrooms. There is a lapsed planning consent for an extension to both cottages.

Each have their own private gardens and are let on Assured Shorthold Tenancies.

The highly productive arable unit can be reached through a well-established road network and quality internal farm tracks, said Savills.
