Two families collectively own Wilbraham - it’s vital that our management caters to the different needs of each party. Maintaining smooth relations between the owners and with members of the local community is a top priority throughout the estate’s development.

As a way of enhancing the estate’s capital, a 38.1 mega-watt solar farm was erected, covering 148 acres of land. We negotiated terms for the site option and the lease, South Cambridgeshire District Council then granted planning permission. We collect the solar park’s rent, carry out annual rent reviews and deal with any outstanding issues.

The estate is also home to a shooting school and horse grazing land. Some of the estate’s agricultural property has been converted into coveted commercial property and sought-after residential homes.
