Description
Hollands Farmhouse is a substantial five-bedroom property full of character, offering generous and adaptable living space. In need of renovation, it presents an outstanding opportunity to create a truly distinctive home.
Adjacent to the farmhouse stands a large stone barn with full planning consent for conversion into an impressive four-bedroom detached residence. The grounds include two paddocks of approximately one acre, ideal for equestrian or agricultural use, and two steel-framed barns offering further scope for development, subject to the necessary permissions.
This is a rare chance to craft a unique and versatile estate in a serene rural setting, combining charm, space, and potential in equal measure.
GARDENS & GROUNDS
Occupying a secluded position at the end of a quiet no through lane, the property enjoys open views across surrounding farmland. A wide entrance creates a sense of space and provides ample parking for multiple vehicles. Two steel-framed barns sit to the left, offering additional development potential subject to planning. To the rear, two paddocks of approximately one acre benefit from a westerly aspect and deliver sweeping countryside vistas, perfect for outdoor pursuits or equestrian use.
