Description
Howkins & Harrison are pleased to bring to market Merton Hall Farm, an impressive and versatile equestrian holding positioned on the edge of Brandon, to the east of Coventry.

Formerly operated as a dairy farm, the holding has been adapted over time to provide a comprehensive equestrian set-up. The combination of residential accommodation, buildings and land gives the property broad appeal to private equestrian purchasers, commercial operators and buyers seeking a lifestyle property with additional income or diversification potential.
