IMMACULATE ARABLE FARM EXTENDING TO ABOUT 60.30 ACRES IN A CONTIGUOUS BLOCK WITH INCREDIBLE VIEWS ACROSS STRANGFORD LOUGH

The Grove Farm is an immaculate arable farm with breath-taking, panoramic views across Strangford Lough and Scrabo Tower. 

The house at Grove Farm is a detached, one and a half storey property constructed in 1989 with 4 bedrooms and 2 reception rooms. The house is well positioned facing east, to benefit from the panoramic views across Strangford Lough and the surrounding countryside. The property offers well balanced and flexible accommodation throughout, as shown on the accompanying plans. The ground floor comprises an open plan kitchen/ living/dining room ideal for modern day living with an adjoining utility room benefiting from back door access. The ground floor further comprises a spacious living room with black marble fireplace and floor to ceiling windows creating an abundance of natural light, along with 3 bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The first floor features a further bedroom with a wealth of eaves storage, as well as a dressing room and shower room/wc. The house benefits from a well maintained front and rear lawn, as well as an abundance of parking to the north and east of the dwelling. 

The Grove Farm extends to 60.30 acres in total, with 53.54 acres of high quality arable pasture. The land is primarily laid in grass and barley, with approximately 23.6 acres planted for potatoes. In previous years, the vendor grew a range of vegetables to include cabbage, broccoli and parsnips on the lands. The lands are relatively flat in topography, ranging in elevation from 1m above sea level to the east of the farm, to 8m above sea level to the west of the farm. An underground irrigation system is in place, serviced by a 500 ft borehole that pumps 6,000 gallons per hour. Please note the entitlements are owned by the vendors and are included within the sale. 

The Grove Farm also benefits from excellent equestrian facilities to include 5 14ft x 10ft indoor stables and tack room constructed about 7 years ago, as well as 3 adjoining outdoor stables. The stable yard benefits from 3 phase electricity and security lights, as well as an indoor wash bay and automatic water drinkers. Further 
facilities include a 60m x 40m sand & fiber mix arena with floodlights and a winter turnout pen. The lands also benefit from a perimeter farm track, ideal for hacking. 

There is a range of additional outbuildings to include a large 94ft x 64ft general purpose shed with roller shutter doors and adjoining 48ft x 20ft lean to shed, as well as a traditional stone building with accommodation extending to over 2 floors which represents an ideal opportunity to run a business from home. 

Outline planning permission has previously been granted for a dwelling and garage 60m north west of the main farmhouse under planning reference LA06/2018/0528/O. Whilst this has now lapsed, it presents an opportunity for a purchaser to renew, subject to the relevant permissions. 

This sale represents an incredible opportunity to acquire an immaculate arable farm that has not transacted in over 53 years, and early viewing is recommended.
