A Durham plant nursery with a three-bedroom house, outbuildings and retail space has been brought to the market by estate agency GSC Grays.
New Row Farm, which GSC Grays said also has potential for equestrian development, has come to the market with a guide price of £975,000.
The site extends to just under 20ac and is situated between Wolsingham and the village of Tow Law.
GSC Grays said the site could provide scope for a wide range of potential farm business diversification opportunities, including a touring caravan site, farm shop/café or race yard facilities.
Head of farm and land sales for the property agency, John Coleman, said: “This is currently a successful local plant nursery business which is being sold following a restructure of the family business assets.
“It has an excellent infrastructure to support such a business enterprise which also lends itself to a wide variety of other rural business uses or as an equestrian set up. We are expecting considerable interest in New Row Farm.”
New Row Farm comprises a stone built farmhouse, a range of traditional stone buildings, a yard and other buildings associated with the running of a commercial/retail plant nursery business.
There are 9.7ac of grassland paddocks, while the commercial nursery area benefits from an “extensive water irrigation system” that is supplied by a private spring supply and three boreholes with numerous holding tanks, GSC Grays said.
Farmhouse and buildings
The detached farmhouse is built of dressed stone and has three reception rooms and three bedrooms.
A courtyard to the rear is enclosed on three sides adjoining a single storey link building and a two storey stone barn which incorporates the farm office, garaging and storage.
The house has its own private drive leading directly to the public road but also has the use of the commercial farm road.
“The traditional farm buildings extend to approximately 3,640 square feet and offer scope for possible change of use for residential or commercial purposes, subject to necessary consents,” GSC Grays said.
“In addition, there are a number of modern buildings, including a large steel-portal frame shed and secondary offices that are currently used to support the existing nursey business.
“The farm’s commercial nursery area, with serviced polytunnel pitches, extends to approximately 6.63ac (2.68ha) while the centrally local retail area has space for retail stock and car parking. This area is understood to have attained planning consent for commercial retail purposes.”
