Description

The Farmhouse

The period farmhouse, which is believed to date back to the early 1900's and was renovated and part rebuilt in 1992, offers an exciting opportunity for a new owner to update and modernise to their own taste and create their dream family home.

The property offers well-proportioned family accommodation. The galley kitchen connects to a larger kitchen and dining room incorporating a pantry cupboard and together these spaces could be reconfigured to create a generous and attractive open-plan living area at the heart of the home. At the front of the house are two reception rooms; one, most recently used as an office, features a period fireplace with an open fire, while the other is fitted with a log-burning stove. A conservatory, added in 2005, further extends the ground floor footprint. On the first floor there are three generously sized bedrooms together with a family bathroom.

To the rear a private garden with paved seating area and lawned area offers a sheltered outside space.

The Agricultural Buildings

The property is complemented by an extensive range of agricultural buildings and a large yard, which has been central to a long-established family pig-rearing and agricultural contracting business. Extending to approximately 15,000 sq ft (GEA), the buildings comprise a mix of portal-framed structures together with older block-built farrowing and fattening shippons. While some of the buildings are dated and in need of refurbishment, the majority remain highly serviceable and lend themselves to a wide range of future uses. Subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents, the buildings and yard could be adapted for commercial or light industrial activities, equestrian enterprises or continued agricultural and stock-related purposes. The workshop, which is fitted with an inspection pit, further enhances the versatility of the holding.

The yard offers extensive parking and turning areas, providing the capacity to accommodate large vehicles and equipment with ease, while its prominent A49 roadside location further enhances its suitability for commercial operations and business use

This exciting property offers a versatile holding with scope as both a commercial entity or a comfortable family home.

The site as a whole totals 1.04 Acres ( 0.42 Ha).
