SITUATION

Larkborough Farm is situated on the Gloucestershire / Worcestershire border, between the villages of Bretforton and Weston-sub-Edge, approximately 5 miles from both the centre of Evesham and from the Cotswold village of Broadway.

The farm has dual access from the B4035 and Stoneford Lane. The house and buildings are centrally located within the farm at the end of the driveway.

The A46 is just 4.5 miles way, providing excellent access to the M5 and wider motorway network.

Approx 3.87 acres (shaded green on sale plan) – Guide Price £860,000

To the rear of the farmhouse is a 2-bedroom converted barn, The Granary; this benefits from a modern fit out with accommodation over two floors. Combined, the properties offer an opportunity for a diversified income through a potential holiday let or an opportunity for multi-generational living.
