Lot 1: Farmhouse, outbuildings, pasture & woodland (19.24 acres)

The farmstead probably dates from the first half of the 19th century and consists of a stone-built, L-shaped farmhouse backing onto a concrete yard fringed with a range of substantial outbuildings. The buildings are all built of granite under slate roofs, with the exterior of the farmhouse covered by painted render. It was a working farm up until recently. It was bought by the current owners in 2019, who then undertook an extension and full, sympathetic refurbishment. The refurbishment includes 400mm of woodfibre insulation added to the house's envelope, along with triple glazed windows, giving the property a EPC rating of C. The farmstead is not listed and has retained many original architectural fittings including pale oak ceiling timbers, flagstone floors, a plank and muntin wall and an inglenook fireplace, now fitted with a woodburning stove. The ground floor encompasses a good sized sitting room and combined kitchen/dining room either side of the hall, together with a pantry, shower room and a large boot room.

Upstairs are four double bedrooms and the family bath and shower room. There are also opportunities to diversify the income streams, whether it through a lifestyle business or as a small holding.

OUTSIDE
Behind the farmhouse is a collection of substantial, period outbuildings grouped around a yard, with a further stone barn facing the farmhouse on the other side of the lane. Surrounding it are about 20 acres of pasture divided into stock-proof enclosures. 125 fruit and nut trees have been planted as well as a separate orchard in the valley behind the farm buildings. Cider and apple juice presses have been an annual event on the farm.

Lot 2: Pasture, rough grazing & woodland (21.47 acres) available separately. Guide £150,000
