“We expect Ughill Hall Farm to attract a lot of interest from the     natural capital and green investor market as there are many   potential opportunities to further enhance the natural capital assets   on the property,” says Carter Jonas Associate Partner Sam Johnson.
 
 Extending to 357.43 acres, the land is a combination of grassland,   woodland, SSSI and a former quarry.
 
 “This equipped upland stock farm also features a semi-detached   four-bedroom farmhouse and a range of traditional and modern   agricultural buildings,” adds Mr Johnson. 
 
 Marketed at £1.95m whole, or in six separate lots, the biggest lot of 219.08 acres includes meadow, pasture, rough pasture and woodland, with the potential for delivering significant Natural Capital benefits. 
 
“Another lot of upland pasture is designated as an SSSI extending to 52.24 acres which will appeal to green investors and buyers keen to explore the potential for further exploring the unit’s environmental potential,” Mr Johnson adds.
 
“While the last stewardship scheme has come to an end, Natural England consider the holding to be an important site for upland breeding waders and are keen to see it sensitively managed and as such, it is likely it will be looked upon favourably for Environmental Land Management Schemes.”
