Our Summary
- There are several potential development prospects a new owner might consider, including restoring the farmhouse to reincorporate a disused stone wing, repurposing the traditional farm buildings and developing holiday let & leisure uses (all subject to planning)
- The south range consists of three bedrooms over two storeys and is in need of modernisation
- A stone-built 17th century west range, comprising a former kitchen wing with accommodation above, is connected to the house by a cob north range: With neither currently in residential use, they offer the potential for restoration as independent accommodation or reincorporation into one magnificent family home
- These buildings are currently in agricultural use and offer excellent potential for alternative uses (subject to planning)
- A measured survey and architect’s concept plans for conversion to hospitality and retail use is available with the property
- The farm has a rich variety of habitats and microhabitats, including two large stands and several smaller pockets of mixed species, unmanaged broadleaf woodland; a traditional orchard; a steep embankment of gorse and succession scrub; ponds; some small fields of culm grassland-like habitat with potential for revival and a goyle in the large field beneath the farmhouse supporting a wetland microhabitat
- There is excellent potential for a small shoot on the farm but this is not currently exploited
- Additional footings for the glamping pods have been placed in the field behind the farmyard, with a view to the future relocation as part of a redevelopment of the outbuildings for hospitality and tourism
- Caravan licence and five glamping pods; potential for permanent holiday accommodation (subject to planning)
- Grade II listed farmhouse in need of renovation
- Traditional barns with excellent scope for re-use
