Berrys Newsletter April 2012

Malt Kiln Farm at Hatton, Market Drayton is for sale with Berrys who have been instructed as joint agents with Strutt & Parker. The property, which totals 7.04 acres (2.85 ha), has a guide price of £735,000 and has great potential for equestrian use or as a smallholding.

“We are delighted to receive instructions to market this immaculate family home which has extensive gardens and land plus some superb stone barns with potential to be used as additional accommodation ancillary to the main house,” explained Sarah Reece who is handling the sale for Berrys at Shrewsbury.

“These attractive buildings are currently used for garaging, livestock housing, storage and office space but could easily be developed, subject to planning consent, to make Malt Kiln Farm an impressive, five or six bedroomed property,” she explained.

Situated in a private position at the end of a sweeping lane, Malt Kiln Farm lies between the villages of Childs Ercall, Hinstock and Stoke-on-Tern, in picturesque rural Shropshire.

A spacious reception hall gives access to the main reception rooms and a study with adjoining shower room that would make an ideal additional bedroom. The impressive parquet flooring continues from the hall into the dining room, passing a door into the cellar.

The kitchen has fitted wooden units and beams, and on either side are a breakfast room and utility room with a door opening onto the terrace. In the sitting room there is an impressive spiral staircase leading up into the sun room where the idyllic views can be fully appreciated. The majority of the house is double glazed.

On the first floor the master bedroom has an en suite bathroom and a large, walk-in wardrobe. There are two further double bedrooms, both with en suite shower rooms, and one with a walk-in wardrobe, all served by a fabulous landing currently used as a seating area, but large enough to convert into an additional bedroom.

The established gardens surrounding the house are laid mainly to lawn with a variety of specimen trees and mature borders. There are superb views extending over neighbouring fields and a decked terrace at the rear of the house provides an idyllic, secluded entertaining area.

Adjoining the gardens are two well fenced paddocks with mains water troughs and two field shelters. There is an additional field of just over four acres separated into three paddocks with mains water to each and two field shelters.

The stone barn and granary above provide excellent, extensive and heated storage and offer huge potential with scope for development. Extending from the barn is an open carport and two pig sties which are currently used for storage.

For further details or to view the property please contact Berrys on 01743 271697 or email shrewsbury@berrybros.com or visit www.berrybros.com

“I am looking forward to my new role at Berrys where I will be advising clients within the commercial agency department and assisting Andrew Tompson with commercial, residential and charity valuations while working towards full membership of the RICS,” said Duncan.

Welcoming him to the team, Berrys’ associate Andrew Tompson said: “Since moving to our new offices in Towcester last year activity has increased particularly in respect of commercial agency instructions with terms agreed on a number of retail and office units.

“As we are local agents for the Moat Lane regeneration scheme this activity is likely to continue and Duncan’s appointment will ensure we can provide continued levels of service to our clients and applicants.”

At Berrys we are eager to develop our expertise in all areas of rural living which means we have to keep our finger firmly on the pulse when it comes to all things equestrian.  Someone we have dealt with for many years in this sector, is National Hunt trainer Richard Phillips.  Based at a professional stables in Adlestrop we have developed a close professional relationship with Mr Phillips, through representing him in a range of areas, on both sides of the fence.  We have represented him as a tenant, as well as a landlord.  Mr Phillips commented: “Berrys have looked after Adlestrop Stables for many years and it has been a great relationship. They understand the countryside and the way the world works and also the way that sport works in the countryside, which is a huge help to us.  They get involved in all aspects of what we are trying to achieve, are always able to help and understand the way we want to go forward with our business.”

We have strong links with the equestrian sector and were involved with British Eventing at Kelsall Hill Equestrian Centre in Cheshire together with a number of local point to points. Kelsall Hill forms part of Organsdale Farm, a farm which has taken equestrian diversification to a corporate level.  Kelsall Hill Equestrian has extensive leisure riding facilities and also hosts regular dressage, cross country and show jumping events.  Berrys sponsored British Eventing which was held on 21^st, 22^nd and 23^rd of April.

For advice on any aspect of the equestrian sector, and in particular the sale of equestrian property, please contact Frances Buckley (01606 818957 or frances.buckley@berrybros.com).
