DESCRIPTION
Mistlehall Farm is situated in a truly outstanding position with splendid views over the Peak District National Park. It comprises a free range poultry farm that has been established during the past 10 years. The property includes a detached farmhouse, constructed during the past 6 years, 2 poultry sheds housing some 5,600 birds, and approximately 40 acres of land.
THE BUSINESS
The free range egg business has a unique selling point in that the birds only have spring water for drinking, no antibiotics are used and they are free to roam on the peaty soils and heather. The brand is well recognised, respected and sought after. It is trademarked and can be viewed at www.mistlehallfarm.co.uk The produce is marketed through local shops/ farmers markets with approximately Ό of the weekly production packaged for Chatsworth Farm Shop, under their own brand. Orders currently exceed supply.
There is a great opportunity to erect a further shed which would give increased continuity of supply and thereby increasing annual profits. The business currently turns over approximately £120,000 per annum and accounts would be available to any serious purchasers.
THE FARMHOUSE
Consent for a farmhouse was granted by Derbyshire Dales District Council (Ref:00/07/0516) and the vendors entered into a Section 106 planning obligation which prevents any part of the property being sold off separately.
The farmhouse has fine views over the surrounding countryside and offers versatile accommodation. On that point, all interior walls are non load bearing making it very easy to adapt the layout, if desired.
