📣 LAND NEWS: An 80.7 acre arable and livestock farm is being marketed by our land and development team.

Cold Farm in South Leicestershire is being offered for sale with a guide price of £2.5m.

Comprising a mix of arable and grassland across seven enclosures, Cold Farm also includes a four-bed detached farmhouse, barn with extant planning consent for conversion into a four-bed home, and a range of farm buildings.

“This is a rare opportunity to acquire a working farm in a strategic location,” comments our Director, Trevor Wells. “Not only does Cold Farm benefit from excellent transport connections via the nearby M1, M6, M69 and A5, but less than 500m from the farm boundary is the consented Lutterworth East development, which has outline consent for up to 2,750 homes.

“This strategic development potential significantly boosts the long-term appeal of the holding, and we expect strong, immediate interest from both owner/occupiers and investors. Cold Farm presents a compelling opportunity to secure operational farmland and buildings alongside the exciting potential to renovate and create high-quality homes; interested parties should contact Wells McFarlane to arrange a viewing,” adds Trevor.

A 117-acre farm near the Rutland village of Langham has been brought to market by our land and planning team.

Westmoor Farm, off Cold Overton Road, is now being offered for sale for offers in excess of £1.8m.

Comprising 117 acres of pasture land divided into 12 well-sized enclosures with several small areas of coppice/woodland, spring fed ponds, and a stream running along the western boundary, Westmoor Farm also includes a detached, four-bedroom farmhouse with agricultural tie, and a range of farm buildings, including portal framed barns and workshop.

“This is an exciting opportunity to purchase an agricultural holding in a well-established farming area,” explains our Director, Andrew McFarlane Holt. “Westmoor Farm offers good agricultural land quality as well as potential redevelopment of the farm buildings, which could be converted or refurbished subject to planning.

“The farm is available to purchase as a whole, or in three lots, providing flexibility for a range of buyers. Opportunities of this nature rarely come to the open market in Rutland, and we expect demand to be high. Interested parties are therefore encouraged to register interest and submit enquiries without delay,” adds Andrew.

Our land and planning team has successfully secured permission to deliver circa 20,000 sq ft of employment and industrial units in Wanlip, Leicestershire.

At Manor Farm, our client sought to convert and repurpose four existing agricultural buildings as part of a long-term diversification strategy.

“Many agricultural landowners are looking for alternative income streams to safeguard their futures and ensure farms remain operational,” says Andrew McFarlane Holt, our Managing Director. “In this case, our client wanted to enable the growth of existing businesses by upgrading existing infrastructure. Our advice was to apply for a change of use to general industrial, and storage and distribution, enabling a broader range of activities and the creation of new jobs.

“We are pleased North West Leicestershire District Council shared our vision and recognised the long-term economic benefits this development will provide. This outcome not only supports local enterprise but secures a more sustainable future for Manor Farm,” adds Andrew.

The approved application includes designated car and HGV parking, as well as significant biodiversity enhancements including native scrub/shrub planting, wildflower, grassland and tree planting.

Our thanks to Mair Land & Planning and Ramm Sanderson who supported this application.

The 7 new industrial units will be ready from 2027 and will range from 1,054 sq ft to 5,200 sq ft. Contact Andrew on 01455 559030 to register interest.

One of our agency team’s latest lettings has given the historic Great Glen railway station building a new lease of life.

Our Asset Manager, Bobby Brown completed the letting of the 1,693 sq ft building to two local entrepreneurs, who have refitted and transformed the space as a beauty and wellness salon.

Jody Cross and Ben White have drawn upon a combined 40 years of hairdressing experience to create The Station House Collective, which will offer a range of hair and beauty services, with plans to expand into additional wellbeing treatments and events.

Bobby comments: “The Great Glen railway station building was sympathetically converted into open plan offices in 2015. With exposed brick detailing, decorative arch windows and high ceilings, it makes a bright and attractive working environment. But Jody and Ben’s vision showed it had even more potential, and they have reimagined it as both a striking workplace and a restorative salon. After more than a decade as offices, it’s exciting to see this historic building welcome a new clientele and we wish Jody and Ben every success.”

Jody said: “Ben and I have both worked in traditional salon environments for a long time, and we felt there was an opportunity to do something more considered and less transactional.

“The building played a huge part in that. It already had so much character, and we have been really thoughtful about how we’ve brought it back to life while keeping that sense of warmth.

“Bobby immediately understood what we wanted to achieve and moved quickly to secure the lease. He was a trusted and safe pair of hands throughout the process, which gave us the freedom to focus on the redesign. We’d be delighted to work with Wells McFarlane again,” adds Jody.

The final retail unit at Wellington Place in Market Harborough has been let to Sprog, a children's indoor play and retail destination.

In a deal negotiated by our Director, Andrew McFarlane Holt, Sprog has taken the remaining 1,667 sq ft unit on a six-year lease, moving in alongside national retailers, Sainsburys and Esquires Coffee. As well as soft play and refreshments, Sprog will also carry a carefully chosen range of children's clothing, toys and gifts.

“This marks the first location for Sprog,” explains co-founder, Adam Newberry who will own and operate the business alongside his wife, Sarah. “Wellington Place immediately felt right. It's a well-designed, family-friendly development in a part of Market Harborough that's growing, and the mix of residents and footfall is exactly the demographic we're seeking.

“We looked at several options but this unit stood out as it gave us the space to bring all three elements under one roof. Andrew and the Wells McFarlane team were proactive, responsive and clearly knew the local market well. As first-time business owners taking on a commercial lease, that clarity and support mattered a lot and made the whole process far less daunting than it might have been,” adds Adam.

Sprog is anticipating a full launch in June 2026 and will create up to eight jobs, including a mix of full-time management roles and part-time positions.

Andrew McFarlane Holt comments: “It’s great to welcome Sprog to Wellington Place and complete the letting of the final commercial unit. Their business concept not only complements the existing occupiers but will also provide an exciting new facility for local families. We wish them every success with the upcoming launch.

“Having successfully negotiated long-term leases on all three units, we are confident this thriving community hub will continue to strengthen, fostering new connections and providing residents with a vital mix of services,” concludes Andrew.

Alongside our work on the commercial units, we are also managing agents for the 11 rental apartments at the adjacent Wellington Mews. Residential & Commercial Asset Manager, Pru Singh confirms these are now fully occupied.

Pru adds: “Market Harborough has a strong ‘village-town’ appeal and is well connected, which is reflected in the strong demand for these rental properties, all of which are now fully let. We are pleased to continue overseeing the day-to-day management at Wellington Mews and supporting residents as the community continues to grow.”

Mental Health Awareness Week encourages us to Take Action… so our team did just that.

Jason, Pru, Bobby and Tom (our official photographer) took to the padel court for an evening of friendly competition.

Exercising and socialising are two of the most positive steps you can take for good mental health and wellbeing, and with padel courts continuing to soar in popularity, including across the industrial property market, we just had to give it a try.

A new tenant has relocated to the Grade II listed Desford Hall, meaning this unique premises is nearing full occupancy.

Our Asset Manager, Bobby Brown has just completed a 6-year lease for project managers and cost consultants, Venture Management to take Office 2B, representing one of the largest spaces in these prestigious office suites.

“The historic Desford Hall is one of the most sought-after properties within our management portfolio,” explains Bobby. “Sat within stunning landscaped grounds, it offers well-maintained, characterful workspaces with plenty of parking. This latest letting highlights Desford Hall’s ongoing popularity, and we are pleased to welcome Venture Management to the thriving business community here.”

With this letting completed, just two offices remain available at Desford Hall. Office 3 is a 676 sq ft ground floor space while Office 7B, on the first floor, offers 804 sq ft space alongside separate kitchen and toilet facilities. Both offices benefit from spectacular views across the grounds.

Bobby continues: “Trends this year indicate that out-of-town business premises, like Desford Hall, are outperforming city centre locations, driven by reduced commuting times, and the ability to offer more flexible working as well as healthier working environments.

“How a property is managed is also a key consideration; tenants are looking for regular visibility and proactive support that keeps their workspaces efficient and well-presented. To that end, we’re exploring ways to innovate our service at Desford Hall, including smart technologies that will ensure a high level of maintenance with minimal disruption. With only two offices remaining, interested parties should act quickly as full occupancy is expected soon,” adds Bobby.

To join Venture Management and the established business community at Desford Hall, contact Bobby on 01455 559030 for viewings of Office 3 and Office 7B.
