Alongside the main house, there are seven estate houses and cottages, with the listing stating the properties can be used to provide rental income and housing for current or former employees.
In addition, the property’s listing notes the land’s “excellent potential for a partridge and pheasant shoot.”
The manor house property is being marketed as a whole, but Savills also appears to be marketing parts of the estate in individual lots.
A vast tract of the estate is also available for £14.5 million, and provides a lengthier breakdown of the land attached to the main property.
The listing continues: “Around 1,102 acres of the farmland is currently in arable production, growing a rage of crops including wheat, barley, oils seed, beans and maize. Many of the fields are of significant scale, facilitating larger machinery and more efficient, modern farming practices.
“Steeper banks and valleys, are laid to permanent pasture, which provide grazing and environmental benefits; two areas adjacent to Wylye Down National Nature Reserve are designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interests. As with the farmland in other lots, it is currently farmed under a Contract Farming Agreement.”
“The mix of gently rolling and steep valleys would lend itself to the making of a range of sporting drives.
“The shooting rights were, in previous years, let to a renowned local shoot. A hut has been sited in a private position with superb views over Wylye Down and the Estate and would make a comfortable shelter on shoot days."
