Dairy farm on market for £4.9 million

Low Abbey Farm

An Eden Valley dairy farm is on the market for a guide price of £4.9 million.

Low Abbey Farm, near Kirkby Thore, includes about 347 acres of land — made up of grade three arable land, permanent grassland and woodland — along with a five-bedroom farmhouse which has four reception rooms and two bathrooms.

Low Abbey Farm is for sale with the GSC Grays farm agency department as a whole or in four lots.

John Coleman, of GSC Grays, said: “This modern dairy farm has enjoyed considerable investment in recent years, in both the steading and the land. It includes the recent construction of a large new cubicle building, with a slatted floor and automated scraping system.”

The farm features four automated milking robots, a 16,000-litre bulk tank, automated feed and cleaning system and cubicle housing for more than 200 cows. It has about 2,300 cubic metres of slurry storage, two uncovered silage pits, open sided straw barns, grain and machinery stores, cattle courts and young stock holding pens.

A range of general farm buildings include housing for an additional 400 head of cattle.

While the main enterprise on the farm is a 220-head pedigree Holstein and Jersey dairy herd, plus replacements, with supporting bull beef production, it also has a flock of 1,000 breeding ewes on land between Low Abbey and a secondary holding.

About 35 acres are sown to winter wheat and it is anticipated an additional 23 acres of spring barley will be drilled this season.

The farm has a 30kW roof-mounted solar PV array, with the majority of electricity generated used on the farm. A small syndicate shoot has historically been in operation on the farm.
