Saddle End Farm is an attractively situated upland investment farm with high quality sporting interest. The property is located in the Ribble Valley, lying within the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property comprises a substantial traditional moorland livestock unit amounting to approximately 587 acres (237.55 ha) situated within a ring fence. The property is an Investment farm, subject to a ‘lifetime’ Agricultural Holdings Act 1986 Tenancy dated 9th January 1991 and there are no succession rights. The current rental income for the farm is £6,000 per annum (£10.22/acre), however a Section 12 rent review notice has been served on the tenants to review the rental income as from August 2010. The sporting rights are owned across the whole of the property and provide high quality pheasant shooting with reasonable numbers of grouse. The sporting rights are not included within the farm tenancy and are let on a separate sporting agreement which expires on 1st February 2011. Therefore, following the expiry of the existing sporting lease, there is the potential for a purchaser with sporting interests to manage/operate the shoot and gain separate enjoyment from their investment. The property is prominently situated and is accessed along a private concrete driveway with the farmstead situated in an attractive elevated position and centrally located to the pasture and meadow land. The farm appears to be well managed by the current tenants, with the farmhouse and land appearing in a reasonably good condition. We understand that the current tenant operates a traditional mixed livestock unit with a sheep flock and suckler cow herd.
