Warren Farm has a history as part of a pig farming enterprise and is currently managed under a contract farming arrangement.
This expansive property features 372 acres of Grade 3 arable land, 148 acres of woodland, four residential cottages, agricultural buildings, and even an airstrip.
The entire farm encompasses 561 acres, which includes pastureland as well as Barton Airfield, a grass airstrip complete with a Nissen hut and temporary hangers, currently leased on a rolling basis.
Some sections of the land come with an overage clause, granting the seller 30% of any net increase in value should development occur within 30 years.
The grain store, constructed in the mid-1990s, includes equipped stirrers and drying facilities, with a total capacity of 1,600 tons. Additional pole barns are located across two other yards.
Rental Income
The property includes four former farmworker cottages that are rented under assured short-hold tenancies, bringing in a monthly income of £5,300.
In addition to the farm sale, there may be a separate opportunity to negotiate the purchase of a five-bedroom farmhouse nestled within 60 acres of woodland.

Adjacent to Warren Farm, Littleton Farm is being marketed with approximately 536 acres of Grade 3 land, featuring a mix of productive arable fields, pasture, and woodland.
The woodland was primarily planted 30 years ago by the current owners, and a family-run shooting business has traditionally hosted around 10 shooting days each season.
The centerpiece of the farm is an unlisted period country house surrounded by a beautifully maintained formal garden.
This estate contains a self-contained one-bedroom flat as well as an annexe offering three bedrooms.
The site further includes a courtyard with a cottage, a farm office, garages, and stables, alongside three cottages and a bungalow providing extra accommodations.
A variety of farm buildings, including two unused Dutch barns and several steel- and concrete-framed sheds, present potential development opportunities, subject to planning permissions.
Part of the land also has an overage provision for potential uses such as solar energy generation, retail, or distribution, requiring 30% of any increased value from this change to be paid to the seller if developed within 30 years.
Land for Sale in Suffolk
In Suffolk, Clarke & Simpson is scheduled to list two blocks of bare agricultural land this month.
Oliver Holloway, a partner at the firm, remarked that although summer showed signs of slower growth following a robust first half of 2024, the land market in East Anglia remains surprisingly stable.
“There continues to be a supply shortage in relation to regional demand,” he stated.
