Lot 1: Blake House Farm buildings, Leys Farmhouse and land 18.96 acres (7.67 ha)

Comprising the heart of Blake House Farm, some of the buildings are listed Grade II and over recent years these and other substantial modern buildings have been converted to commercial uses. The present income from the buildings is circa £227,000 per annum and in addition there is a service charge income of circa £64,000. This income could grow considerably if the large buildings presently used for farm storage are converted to commercial use. The farmhouse called Leys offers comfortable accommodation and an area of open land to the rear of the complex offers opportunities for further commercial uses. The Craft Centre: 13,122 sq ft The original farm buildings, several of which are listed Grade II form the highly successful Blake House Craft Centre. Within the original barn, stables and cart sheds, the Craft Centre offers 21 separate units which are let to a wide variety of businesses and within the large barn there is a thriving café restaurant for those visiting the centre as well as for hosting specific events. Parking is within the craft centre or within a car park with access to the public highway. Toilet facilities are within a dedicated block. Commercial buildings: 20,585 sq ft General storage: 24,350 sq ft To the rear of the craft centre are a range of large portal frame buildings. Several are let for commercial uses and others are used for the storage of grain and farm machinery. Subject to planning, these large grain and farm machinery stores could be used for further commercial uses, increasing the income potential from Blake House Farm considerably. There is also a weighbridge. Leys Built in the 1970s, Leys is set away to one side of the farmyard. To the ground floor there is a hall off which there is a large sitting room/ dining room and a separate sitting room.
