Cheffins selling £2.2m farm in Thetford Forest near Weeting

Field Barn Farm, which spans 154 secluded acres outside Weeting, near Brandon, is being sold via property agents Cheffins.

It includes the two/three-bedroom Field Cottage, which has "sweeping views across its land and through to the forest".

Situated down a private track on the edge of Thetford Forest, the property is off-grid, with electricity provided from solar panels and water from a private borehole.

There is also a traditional 19th century brick barn and stables, with planning permission for conversion into a three-bedroom house, and two large general-purpose buildings.

To the rear of Field Cottage are two grass paddocks totalling 1.5 acres, leading onto the surrounding 151-acre field, classified as Grade 3 land suitable for growing cereals, sugar beet and carrots.

Jonathan Stiff, director and head of the rural division at Cheffins, said: "Field Barn Farm is set in one of the most scenic locations in East Anglia, right within Thetford Forest.

"This sale provides an opportunity for someone looking for a secluded and private home with scope for further extension or someone looking for a lifestyle farm or equestrian property or it could even provide an unusual development opportunity.

"We have seen a significant uplift in demand for farmland, as the number of buyers entering the market has increased but supply has remained very tight.

"Now typical farmer buyers looking to expand their operations are in competition with those buying for investment or lifestyle buyers, looking to leave the city and 'live the good life'.

"Field Barn Farm fits all of these criteria and will suit a range of people."

The property is being sold as a whole or in two lots - one comprising the buildings and grass paddocks, and the other being the 151-acre arable field.
