AFTER 24 years in the ownership of the same Herefordshire farming family Rowlestone Park Farm near Pontrilas comes to the market through Fisher German's Worcester office.

Jonathan Malings of selling agents Fisher German commented "In that time George and Sue Jones' family have transformed this beautifully located farm with a diverse range of enterprises, including a poultry unit for 10,500 laying birds selling three million free range eggs a year under contract."

The farm itself looks out over the Monnow Valley with 126 surrounding acres of grass land, home to a 35 cow suckler herd with youngstock, and land running down to the River Monnow, now ranked as one of the best wild trout fisheries in the UK. The unspoilt views over softly rolling Herefordshire fields belie the location close to the busy and thriving village of Ewyas Harold which is well served with primary school and medical centre, shops, inn and restaurant.

This is a burgeoning holiday destination with the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons National Park providing a backdrop to the farm. Food and literary festivals of international renown at Abergavenny and Hay-on-Wye add to the cultural landscape.

An impressive Grade II listed seven bedroom farmhouse is subdivided into two self-contained homes, and is ideally suited to a large family, or could just as easily be opened up again as a single family residence. Added to which three cottages on the farm are currently let and producing over £20,000 of rental income a year.

As if that is not enough a telecoms mast let at £5,500/annum is available separately by negotiation.

Jonathan Malings concluded "this is the complete package in terms of a family run farm, and yet there is still scope to add to the business with new farming enterprises or by tapping into the influx of visitors to this region throughout the year."
