Westover, Calbourne, Newport

A ring fenced grassland farm in a private setting with farmhouse, range of traditional and modern buildings, livery yard and holiday site.

Introduction - Glebe Farm is an attractive private amenity farm, in a ring fence with outstanding views and potential situated just outside of the Isle of Wight National Landscape. The current owners have historically managed the farm for livestock, equestrian and amenity purposes with a profitable livery yard and six plot holiday site. There are a range of traditional farm buildings that have potential for alternative uses and conversion, along with a range of modern farm buildings that are suited for agricultural and equestrian use. The farm benefits from an attractive private location down a 200m private drive, sat centrally within the land, with no other properties overlooking and no rights of way.

Situation - Glebe Farm lies in a highly attractive location on the Isle of Wight with excellent transport links to Newport, Cowes and Yarmouth, allowing ferry trips to the mainland with ease. Calbourne is one of the most unspoilt villages on the island, with a working water mill close by.

The Farmhouse - Glebe Farmhouse is a 1940’s three-bedroom farmhouse, that has been decorated and modernised throughout by the current owners. Approached by a private drive and sat centrally within the ring-fenced farmland, the property internally has undergone a recent renovation with a new central heating system, internal wall insulation, replastering and redecoration. There are three bedrooms on the first floor with a modern family bathroom, and on the ground floor two large reception rooms, boot room, large shower and utility room, WC and a conservatory to the rear

The Farm Buildings - Glebe Farm, benefits from a range of modern and traditional farm buildings extending to 17,603 sqft which are ready to use for either agricultural, equestrian or amenity purposes.
There is a mix of construction types such as steel portal frame, timber farm and traditional red brick build. The farm is outside the National Landscape (AONB) so there is good potential for
further conversion to residential or commercial uses under Class R or Class Q permitted development

The Land - Glebe Farm extends to 40.98 acres (16.58ha) of pasture in a ring fence. The land is Grade 3 and the soil type is identified as slightly acid loamy clay soils with moderate to high fertility. It is well suited to grass production for grazing of livestock and horses, also producing good hay and silage.

Equestrian - The livery yard run from Glebe Farm currently has ten liveries with the potential to increase this number. There is a 40 x 60 sand school which has been installed to the rear of the farmyard. The paddocks lend themselves well to being divided further and utilised for livery purposes.

Holiday Site - The farm operates a six plot holiday site with six static caravans installed with the potential to increase this number. The holiday site is typically fully booked each year through the summer months and the capacity and prices could be increased.
