The stone built farmhouse offers a renovation project, in need of internal modernisation and refurbishment, but with ample opportunity for a purchaser to adapt and extend to their taste (subject to consents). Set back from the roadside, the farmhouse occupies a pleasant position, with accommodation across two floors and suited to family living. On the ground floor, the accommodation briefly comprises a living room, kitchen diner, sitting room, and an entrance hallway with under stairs storage. The first floor offers two double bedrooms, a single bedroom, and a family bathroom.
Externally, the farmhouse offers pleasant lawned gardens to the front with planted borders and a patio area for outside seating and dining. The property benefits from a private driveway from the roadside giving entrance to a yard area with parking availability for multiple vehicles.
The buildings include a small range of traditional agricultural outbuildings, all located to the rear of the farmhouse, slightly aged and in need of some repairs but offering flexibility in their uses with much potential.
Briefly, the buildings comprise of;
1. Single storey brick built ‘L shape’ barn (75 m2)
2. Single storey brick built lean-to housing cubicles
3. Block built lean-to housing former cow stalls (34 m2)
4. Block built building within the field (22 m2)
5. Brick built Dutch barn within the field (28 m2)
6. Two bay timber framed pole barn with lean-to within the field (64 m2)
The brick buildings within the farmyard adjoin the farmhouse to the rear, offering huge potential for conversion to extend the farmhouse living accommodation (subject to the necessary planning consents).
