HARDINGLEY FARMHOUSE
Within this exciting scheme, Plot 2 comprises a substantial period farmhouse enjoying a delightful outlook, enclosed gardens and a paddock extending to approximately 1.22 acres. The farmhouse is currently connected to the stone barn to the rear. At some point following completion, the farmhouse will need to be detached from the stone barn by the purchaser, in conjunction and by agreement with the purchaser of the stone barn. The cost of carrying out these works will be shared between both parties.
CURRENT ACCOMODATION
The current accommodation, excluding the existing extension into the barn which will no longer form part of the farmhouse, briefly comprises: an impressive boot room / utility room, farmhouse kitchen, living room, study / bedroom 3, rear hall / utility room, first-floor sitting room which could easily be converted to provide two or three bedrooms, principal bedroom and house bathroom. There is also a mezzanine level above the current bathroom.
PROPOSED ACCOMODATION
The proposed new accommodation incorporates a side extension and provides an exciting opportunity to substantially enhance this already delightful property. The refurbishment could readily be undertaken in phases, allowing the purchaser to progress the works according to their requirements. The proposed accommodation comprises a central entrance hall, WC, utility room and fabulous open-plan living / dining kitchen with bi-folding doors opening onto the garden. There is also a delightful lounge, together with an office / guest bedroom and nearby shower room / downstairs WC. To the first floor are five bedrooms, with bedroom one benefitting from a dressing room and en-suite, together with a further house bathroom.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Hardingley Farmhouse is offered for sale within the group of other houses and land. There will be a shared cost with regards to the new infrastructure including driveway, services and drainage etc. It is estimated that the cost will be somewhere around £15,000 / £20,000 per unit. This is not yet fixed but purely as a guide. All works within the boundaries will be the responsibility of the purchaser. The specification and finish will be entirely at the purchaser's discretion, subject of course to the necessary planning and other relevant consents. This represents a particularly worthwhile project, occupying a beautiful rural position with a lovely outlook and considerable potential to create a superb individual country home.
Garden
The farmhouse will be sold with a large private driveway providing access to the double garage and the paddock, which extends to approximately 1.39 acres. Further adjoining fields are available by separate negotiation. Please note that a public footpath passes through the driveway / paddock.

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
