This elevated upland farm presents a unique opportunity for both agricultural and developmental investments. Located near the picturesque rolling countryside northeast of Brampton, Gapshield encompasses a productive livestock farm complete with significant natural capital. The property features a historic five-bedroom farmhouse dating back to circa 1863, which boasts well-proportioned rooms and extensive traditional and modern buildings surrounding a concrete yard. While the farmhouse is equipped with period character, including original fireplaces and timber details, it requires updates to reach its full potential as a family home.
The extensive range of traditional buildings includes stone structures ideal for conversion into additional residential accommodation or holiday rentals, providing excellent scope for further development (subject to necessary consents). Modern farming facilities enhance operational efficiency, while the substantial land area of approximately 451.58 acres offers ample opportunities in agriculture or environmental restoration efforts.
With potential for peatland restoration, habitat creation, or even commercial wind energy generation discussions ongoing, this farm is not just about livestock; it represents a canvas for future investors looking to develop land in harmony with nature.
