  "textContent": "\n\n\nPrince William has put a 600-acre farm in Herefordshire up for sale, with a guide price of £6.65million, marking another step in Prince William's ambitious restructuring of the royal estate.\n\nThe property in Cradley, situated near Ledbury, encompasses approximately 617 acres of productive agricultural land.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThis sale forms part of a sweeping strategy to sell one-fifth of the Duchy's holdings over the coming decade.\n\nProceeds from such disposals will contribute towards a £500million investment programme targeting affordable housing and environmental initiatives across local communities.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe vacant farm up for sale comprises an eight-bedroom farmhouse spread across three storeys, accompanied by various agricultural buildings and a mix of pasture and arable land.\n\nProperty consultants Fisher German are handling the sale, offering buyers the flexibility to acquire the entire holding or purchase it in two separate lots.\n\nThe first lot, Hill Farm, includes the substantial residence and over 470 acres, while the second parcel at Seed Farm consists of approximately 167 acres of arable ground.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nAgents note the traditional farmhouse requires updating but presents considerable potential for redevelopment, with the current division between main house and annexe capable of conversion into a single-family dwelling.\n\nThe Duchy recently confirmed its intention to dispose of 20 per cent of its property assets over the next ten years, channelling the resulting funds into community-focused projects.\n\nFor example, the Duchy has invested £11million to building new eco-homes on the Isles of Scilly, which are currently enduring a housing crisis.\n\nIts vast portfolio currently spans 128,000 acres across 19 counties, providing the Prince of Wales with £20million in annual private income.\n\nPrince William has articulated a clear vision for the estate he inherited upon his father's accession to the throne.\n\n### LATEST ROYAL NEWS\n\n\n\n\n  * William attends The Diana Awards as he discusses periods and social media exposure\n  * Queen Camilla joins Paddington Bear at British Library to mark National Year of Reading\n  * Prince William declares 'we need to protect pubs' in direct message to Rachel Reeves\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\"There is so much good we can do,\" he stated. \"I'm trying to make sure I'm prioritising stuff that's going to make people's lives, living in those areas, better.\"\n\nThe heir to the throne has emphasised that the Duchy should not operate as a conventional landowner, expressing his desire for the institution to deliver meaningful benefits beyond traditional estate management.\n\nA Duchy spokesman outlined the estate's commitment to those affected by property sales, stating: \"We recognise that each of our tenant's circumstances are different, and we are taking a careful, case-by-case approach.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe spokesman added that existing tenancy terms remain central to discussions, with support available for tenants weighing their options.\n\nThe Cradley sale represents roughly one-third of the 1,800-acre estate the Duchy holds in the county, which also includes the 11,300-acre Guy's Estate in south Herefordshire.\n\nNotably, Herefordshire does not feature among the Duchy's five designated heartland regions, which include Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly, Dartmoor, Bath and Kennington.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
