A great opportunity to acquire a four bedroom farm house set in grounds of 17.75 acres (sts). The property is in need of a full scheme of renovations but offers great potential and benefits from a good range of outbuildings including brick barns and a steel portal framed agricultural building. The land extends to the rear and side and is set to permanent pasture creating equestrian, leisure and horticultural opportunities (stp).

This attractive detached farmhouse is estimated to date back at least to Victorian times and possibly beyond, with brick external walls under a double pitched tiled roof. To the rear is a detached brick and clay tiled barn with potential for conversion into an annexe, holiday let or home office accommodation, (STP). To the rear of this is a large, versatile, steel portal-framed agricultural building and the land extends beyond and to the sides. The land is let on a grazing license from 1st April 2025 to 30th September 2025.
