LOT 1 - FARMHOUSE, BUILDINGS AND PADDOCK

FARMHOUSE
The detached farmhouse comprises a traditionally built four bedroomed dwelling with accommodation including Breakfast Kitchen, Lounge, Dining Room, Living Room, downstairs Shower Room, Conservatory, four Bedrooms and a Family Bathroom. There is a large garden to the rear of the property together with adjoining paddock, the whole extending to approximately 3.35 acres.

The farmhouse adjoins the yard and farm buildings to the east and offers a tranquil rural residence at the centre of the farm and is approached by an attractive concrete and hardcore driveway off Theddingworth Road.

Planning consent has been obtained for the replacement of the farmhouse under application 26/00519/OUT and full details and plans are available from the selling Agents in the dedicated data room with Artists impressions of the proposed Farmhouse above.

The Existing Farmhouse extends to a total area of approximately 2,350 sq ft (218 sqm) and the proposed replacement dwelling will offer a modern farmhouse style residence with extensive countryside views and the existing garden and adjacent paddock are included.

BUILDINGS
The farm buildings are situated adjoining the farmhouse to the west and are well served by concrete roads and yards. The buildings were formally used as a Dairy and Beef Unit and have since been used as storage and general agricultural use.

Prior approval has been granted under Class Q of the Town and Country Panning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 under application 25/01601/PDN for the conversion of three agricultural buildings to six dwellinghouses which offers substantial development potential in this sought after rural location.

The proposed dwellings will each extend to a GIA of 1,560 sqft (145 sqm) and offer six well designed individual barn conversion style properties that will appeal to purchasers seeking character properties situated in a very desirable South Leicestershire countryside location. Full details and drawings are available from the data room on request.

Method of Sale and Tenure
The property will be sold freehold and vacant possession will be given on legal completion.

None of the services or appliances, heating installations, plumbing or electrical systems have been tested by the selling Agents.
