Fabulous period house, OUTBUILDINGS and LAND. Requiring total modernisation with FOUR BEDROOMS, various barns, very large gardens and PADDOCK, in total extending to over two acres. EPC G-7 FREEHOLD. COUNCIL TAX BAND - E
This handsome, historic period stone and brick farmhouse has been in the same family since the 1950's and is set in a popular village position within its own land. The property requires extensive upgrading throughout (although it has UPVC double glazing) meaning the house and outbuildings offer very exciting potential for any new owner. The property has two formal reception rooms; large kitchen/dining room; utility room and cloakroom on the ground floor. Upstairs are four large bedrooms, which enjoy fabulous rural views, and a bathroom. The house is set within a sizeable plot with gardens extending (we believe) to over half an acre to the rear. This area includes a well tended lawn leading to a further large grassed area which could be incorporated into the paddock. The plot slopes gently up and backs onto open farmland enjoying some fabulous, far-reaching views. A paddock sits to one side extending, the seller informs us, to over 1.8 acres. Various useful outbuildings neighbour the house including a superb attached period barn - prime for conversion into further living accommodation*. There is also a static caravan (in poor condition); two further large barns/workshops and various sheds.

A lawned garden lies behind the house with some pretty specimen trees and a central hedge separating this and the large grassed area beyond (which was formerly a huge vegetable garden). This area slopes gently upwards and borders farmland. There is a shed and greenhouse. A STATIC CARAVAN sits to one side which is in poor condition and requires removing or refurbishing.
Attached to the side of the property is a large barn separated into two interconnected areas measuring 7.54m x 4.78m (24'8 x 15'8) and 8.02m x 5.27m (26'3 x 17'3). One side is of stone construction with an attached corrugated metal building. This area is prime for redevelopment* (see agent's notes). There are doors to the front and two sides.

* Whilst the property and outbuildings appear prime for redevelopment, this must be subject to any necessary permissions being obtained. A potential purchaser is advised to check the exact size of the attached land, we are quoting areas cited by the seller. This should be used as a guide only.
These particulars are issued in good faith, but do not constitute representation of fact or form any part of any offer or contract. The Agents have not tested any apparatus, equipment, fittings or services and room measurements are given for guidance purposes only. Where maximum measurements are shown, these may include stairs and measurements into shower enclosures; cupboards; recesses and bay windows etc. Any video tour has contents believed to be accurate at the time it was made but there may have been changes since. We will always recommend a physical viewing wherever possible before a commitment to purchase is made.
I am so proud to have been asked by the family to sell their family home of over seventy years. Whilst the historic house now requires considerable improvements, there is so much scope with the attached barn and other outbuildings. I can just imagine the barn being incorporated into the house as a stunning family kitchen/dining room. I will never ever tire of the stunning views from the top of the field either!
Although these particulars are thought to be materially correct their accuracy cannot be guaranteed and they do not form part of any contract.
