The Vineyard and Buildings
A short walk through the private woodlands leads to the gently sloping 5 acre vineyard. Some of these vines are over 50 years old and produce highly sought after wines. Astley Vineyard was established in 1971 and continues to be a very successful business producing an average of 7,000 bottles per annum, also winning many awards and trophies.

On site there is the newly-fitted winery, chillled wine warehouse (which is bonded for duty purposes), retail shop/tasting room (with terrace overlooking the wine garden), tractor shed and a variety of storage units.

There are two new fully-fitted and furnished shepherds huts enjoying wonderful views across the vines to the open countryside beyond.

The vineyard and houses are accessed separately via two separate drives which maintains privacy.

The current owners have vastly improved the vineyard and this is a great opportunity for someone keen to take up the reins and continue to grow.

Location
