This residential farm presents a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment within the picturesque village of Wentworth, Cambridgeshire. The centerpiece is the Grade II listed Manor Farmhouse, believed to date back to the mid-17th to early 18th century. Characterized by its timber frame and brick construction beneath a tiled roof, this substantial home spans over 3,600 square feet. While it has not been occupied since 2022 and requires extensive refurbishment, it offers significant potential to be transformed into an inviting family residence.
The ground floor offers various living spaces including a kitchen/dining area equipped with a utility room and pantry, multiple sitting areas, and a study. The upper floor features six bedrooms served by a bathroom, making it ideal for creating a spacious family layout or guest accommodations. Accessed via Church Road, the farmhouse is set within gardens that provide outdoor space and parking for several vehicles at the front.
Adjacent to the farmhouse are farm buildings that have historically been integral to the property’s operations. These structures blend traditional agricultural forms with more modern facilities and hold potential for redevelopment or alternative uses, subject to obtaining necessary planning permissions.
The land surrounding Manor Farm spans approximately 174.26 acres, primarily south-facing and divided into eleven enclosures that consist of both pasture and arable fields. The land benefits from Grade 3 classification on the Soil Map of England and Wales, featuring Hanslope series clay loam soil ideal for cultivating high-yield cereal crops or grassland. Currently managed under a Farm Business Tenancy until 10th October 2027, the land also participates in a Countryside Stewardship agreement and supports an established game shoot operation.
Located conveniently south of the A142 between Witchford and Sutton, this property is just a short distance from Ely—known for its historic charm centered around Ely Cathedral. This vibrant city provides excellent transport links including direct trains to Cambridge and London, as well as comprehensive educational options encompassing both state and private schools.
