Introduction

Pervin Farm comes to the market by kind instruction from Elwyn, Richard and Roger Pryce who are retiring. The farm was purchased by the family in 1952. They have therefore been in occupation for 72 years. The farm is unique in that it is approached over a 1.5 mile drive from the former A49 but the A49 trunk road is within 0.25 miles of the end of the drive. The farmhouses and farm buildings stand in an elevated, commanding position with excellent views and therefore privacy is a very important aspect of this farm.

Situation

The Farm lies within 3 miles of Leominster, 15 miles of Ludlow and 11 miles of the County City of Hereford. Leominster has the usual facilities of shops, supermarkets, Post Office, Public Houses, Doctors, Vets, Railway Station, Private and Secondary Education. Leominster is also well known for Antique Shops and has an Antique Auction House. The area is well served with Livestock Markets at Hereford, Ludlow, Talgarth, Kington, Knighton and Builth Wells. The County City of Worcester and the M5 lie within 30 miles and Shrewsbury within 42 miles. The Farm lies within a ring fence with the land to the left and right of the approaching drive with a further block of land accessed from the farm buildings to the north east.

Description

Pervin Farm amounts to approx. 286.32 Acres with the house and buildings situated in an elevated, south facing, secluded, rural location with the most spectacular views. A Grade II and III stock and arable farm with great privacy but within 1.75 miles of the A49 trunk road. ‘Pervin’ originates from Anglo Saxon English and carries the meaning of ‘fertile hill’. The land is of particularly good heart as the farm has been farmed primarily with livestock and therefore fym has been spread with great regularity.

Farm Services

Mains Electricity is connected. The farm benefits from mains water and also a private supply which are interchangeable with both systems able to supply the farm buildings and field tanks as well as the two houses. The private supply is from a catch pit which then supplies a reservoir to the north of the farm powered by an electric submersible pump. The water then gravitates to the buildings, field tanks and houses. The fields to the south of the access drive are watered from the “Marlbrook”. The “lower barn” cattle yard and the enclosure furthest south being Field 3924 are fed by another piped spring supply.

The Land

The land amounts to approx. 286.32 acres and is Grade II and Grade III on the Land Classification Plan. The Grade II Land is to northeast and south of the farm with the remainder Grade III. The arable land has been limed as part of the rotation. The remainder has the natural presence of lime as some of the land is over “Canon Frome” limestone and Bromyard series Clay, hence the lime kiln on the right hand side as one proceeds up the drive. As the farm has been farmed predominantly with livestock the external and internal hedges, fences and gateways are in good condition. The enclosures are of good size for grazing, conservation and arable enterprises.

Tenure

The property is offered freehold with vacant possession upon completion of the sale; however, the vendors reserve the right to hold a farm sale on the property and will “holdover” until the crops are harvested and straw baled and removed. The vendors reserve the right to remain in the Farmhouse and Round House until the end of September 2024.

Ingoing Valuation

There will be no Ingoing Valuation as the crops will be harvested and there will be no claim whatsoever for dilapidations.

Timber, Sporting, And Mineral Rights

We understand that all these rights are included within the freehold sale. It should be pointed out that the sporting element of the farm could be greatly enhanced by the planting of woodland across the banks to the south of the houses and farm buildings.

Timber Extraction And Right Way

There are Timber Extraction Rights over Pervin Farm from the woodland to the west. The Extraction Rights are marked in Red on the accompanying plan from A to B, C to B, B to D, E to D and F to G. There is also a Right of Way from Points X to Y partly down Pervin Farm drive. The details of which are contained under the relevant Registered Titles, which will be available to be reviewed as part of the legal pack.

The Access

The lane leading to Pervin Farm drive from the former A49 is not an adopted highway, it is a public bridleway, which has been the access to the farm for the Pryce family since 1952.

Public Rights Of Way

There is a Public Bridleway along the lane leading to Pervin Farm drive. There is also a Public Bridleway crossing parcels 9278,0514,9895, and 8883, however it reaches a dead end and is therefore very rarely exercised.

Wayleaves, Easements, And Rights Of Way

The property is sold subject to and with the benefit of all easements, quasi easements, wayleaves, and rights of way both declared and undeclared.

Planning

Prospective Purchasers must make their own enquires to the Local Planning Authority.

Asbestos

The vendors and their agents accept no liability for any asbestos on the property. It is in the nature of farm buildings in particular that asbestos is likely to be present on the farm.

Contaminants

The Vendors and the Agents accept no liability for any Contaminants on the property.

Uplift Clause

There will be an Uplift Clause of 25% over a twenty-year period from the date of completion. The Uplift Clause will be triggered by the grant of Planning Consent for non-agricultural use including Q Class Consent.
