Description
Summary
Brocklewath Farm has an extensive range of modern farm buildings, set within a block of arable, grassland and woodland, totalling 142.42 acres in all.
Farm Buildings
The buildings have provided general produce storage and livestock housing. The main general purpose building is of steel portal frame construction with a fibre cement roof, Yorkshire boarding, concrete block walls and concrete floor (19.2m x 33m). The building includes a small secure internal room which has historically housed a electrical generator. There are lean-to extensions on three sides of the building, which provide additional livestock accommodation. One of these is in a very poor condition with a partially collapsed roof and requires significant work if it is to be reoccupied, or alternatively demolished. The remaining extensions are a block wall construction with concrete floor, fibre cement roof and Yorkshire boarding (33m x 7.1m & 6.7m x 33.7m). A final block wall lean-to is arranged into three rooms and provides a workshop and lunch room (3.85m x 13.6m).
To the north of the main range is a second general purpose steel portal frame building with fibre cement roof, Yorkshire boarding, concrete panel walls on three sides and hardcore floor (27m x 19.6m). The final building sits to the west and is a further general store / lambing shed. This building is a timber frame with corrugated steel roof, although a basic construction with low eaves, this building provides additional covered storage (11.5m x 26.5m).
Land & Woodlands
The land is ring fenced, bounded by the river to the west with a useful internal central access track linking the buildings to the former sand and gravel quarry. The bulk of the land is good quality and productive arable, however there are also woodlands and a former quarry area with sporting, amenity and conservation appeal. The land is currently a mixture of spring cropping, stewardship scheme options and game strips.
The land is classified as Grade 3 under the Agricultural Land Classification, with soils from the Salwick series which are typical to the area and provide a deep red fine loam soil suitable for cereals, potatoes and beet. The land undulates gently between 30 and 70 metres above sea level.
Development Potential
The range of buildings and land, with appropriate stocking, may present a future opportunity to justify the location of a temporary or permanent agricultural workers dwelling at the farmstead. Alternatively, General Permitted Development Order rights may permit the conversion of existing buildings to a form of residential use (subject to various consents).
