DESCRIPTION Hidden from view at the end of a private

road, this unspoilt property represents an exciting development

opportunity. The site comprises a Grade II Listed farmhouse,

together with a significant range of traditional stone barns. Our

clients have obtained planning permission for renovation and

conversion to provide five residential units. The farmhouse

extends to 3116 sq ft (289 sq m) and the barns total

approximately 11,802 sq ft (1096 sq m).

This development opportunity provides a wealth of possibilities,

however it would make a fine country residence, with additional

cottages and outbuildings offering potential accommodation for

relatives, staff or holiday lets. It may also be of interest to

developers seeking to build and sell the individual units or

potentially to create a holiday complex. The curtilage extends to

approximately 1.8 acres, providing the opportunity to create

beautiful gardens and ample parking/garaging. Potentially further

land might be available.

Within the boundary of the property there are two modern

agricultural buildings extending in all to 3,896 sq ft (361 sq m).
