Bage Mill, Lulham, HR2

Bage Mill extends to a three-bedroom detached dwelling, a fascinating Grade II listed Cruck Barn which is possibly from the 15th Century with later extensions, including circa 3 acres of gardens and grounds. The property is highly unique in nature and offers an abundance of potential.

The house has all the fundamentals of a spacious home with good room sizes and layout, it is in need of renovation and modernisation but will no doubt become a superb family home. The Cruck Barn is fabulous, dating back to the 15th century it does benefit from planning permission to convert the barn and adjoining outbuildings to an outstanding four bed dwelling offering an abundance of accommodation and living space.
