Search the Public Notice PortalA Grade II listed manor, built by a baronet for his mistress, sits at the centre of a working farm now up for sale In Northumberland.
West Ord Farm, located three miles from Berwick, has been owned by the same family for decades.
The farm extends to more than 461 acres of arable and grassland, with five holiday cottages and two converted fishing shiels.
The Lang family, who have owned the farm since 1983, said: "We’ve been here for more than 40 years and it’s been a wonderful place to live and work, the farm really is our pride and joy.
"The land’s been good to us, and we’ve always tried to look after it in return.
"It has been the perfect place to raise our family, with endless memories of looking after livestock, horse riding, summer evenings on the tennis court and days of fishing on the River Tweed.
"We’ve reached a point where it feels right to start a new chapter, and we hope whoever takes it on sees the same potential and value in it that we always have."
The family has made improvements to the farm over the years, including renovating workers’ cottages and upgrading the farmhouse.
The holiday cottages have also attracted regular visitors.
It was commissioned by Sir William Blackett, 2nd Baronet of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, for his mistress, Margaret Orde.
The property retains its original Georgian character, with hand-carved cornicing and wall panelling.
The home sits within large gardens, including a full-sized tennis court.
The sale also includes a residential development site known as Low House.
This plot, which extends to approximately 3.58 acres, has full planning permission for a four-bedroom home.
Sarah Mason, director at FBR Seed, said: "There are few farms that offer this combination of quality, location and legacy.
"To live in such an idyllic setting less than a mile from the principal private school for the area and just a few miles from the coast and mainline railway station is a truly unique opportunity.
"West Ord is not just a productive working farm, it’s a home, a diversified business, and a place with real depth of character.
"Properties of this calibre and versatility rarely come to market in this sought-after location, it represents both a sound investment opportunity and a chance to acquire a piece of Northumberland country heritage with proven commercial credentials."
According to the estate agent, the land's soil delivers "strong yields" across a long cropping history.
While currently run as an arable unit, the layout and infrastructure would also lend themselves to mixed farming with livestock having been kept on the holding in previous years.
