Description
Ewelme Park Farm
The farmland is accessed by public road access to the east and a right of
access over and along a central third party owned driveway. The large field
sizes are suitable for modern farm machinery and comprise predominately arable
land with some pasture, interspersed by woodland. The Arable land which
extends to approximately 366 acres comprises mainly Grade 3 farmland with two
distinct soil types. The western portion of the estate is predominately steep
ground and is made up of shallow lime - rich soils over chalk or limestone. To
the east of the main house the land is flatter and comprises slightly acid
loamy and clayey soils. The arable land is farmed in - hand on a standard
rotation basis.
Farm Buildings
Located to the north of the entrance to the main driveway are two steel framed
grain stores built in the 1990s. They are surrounded by a concrete forecourt
and are accessed through double five bar gates. The buildings house storage up
to 800 and 500 tons respectively and there is a dry air generator within the
larger of the two buildings.
Woodland
The woodland on the estate extends to approximately 142 acres and is
strategically located to benefit the Estate’s private shoot. The woodlands are
primarily deciduous with distinct groups; mixed broadleaves and conifers;
broadleaves and conifer. Less than 8% of the woodland is classified as ancient
woodland and a significant area was planted on farmland throughout the 1980’s
and 1990’s. The woodlands generally have level to moderate slopes but are
located in undulating topography which allows for harvesting and extraction to
be carried out by conventional means.
Shoot & Conservation
A shoot was run across the estate from 1960 to 2021 and utilised the woodland
and strategically planted cover crops to provide challenging pheasants and
partridges. Feeder pens are located within the woodland.
Cottages
