Description
Set in a delightful rural setting this historic farm has history dating back to the 16th century where the original farmhouse was sited. The current family have enjoyed this as a private farm for many decades and the buildings have provided many potential uses, including those of a traditional farm nature.
Ideally, our clients are looking for a family to enjoy this set up in the way that they have done over the years though they accept the buildings themselves may offer potential for redevelopment.
Balons Farm comprises of a three bedroom bungalow, a two bedroom thatched barn conversion, a traditional agricultural building plus a range of further utility buildings.
In all, the land extends to around 10.3 acres, split over two titles.
The bungalow was built in around 1969 and is believed to be of traditional construction. The L shaped entrance hall gives access to the principal receptions which include a lounge, dining room, conservatory and kitchen / diner. There is a guest cloakroom and utility room. In addition, there are three bedrooms, all of which have fitted wardrobes and a family bathroom.
The thatched barn offers two bedrooms, an open plan living area and a wet room, all on one level.
A open bay cart lodge offers parking just off the courtyard. This is shared with the neighbouring house.
Adjacent to the main house there is a Grade II listed L shaped timber framed barn that had planning permission granted in 1991 for conversion. This is attached to another dwelling (not owned by our clients) that was converted some years ago.
As mentioned earlier there are a range of further buildings which offer a range of uses, having been used for cattle, horses, and pigs over the years. One of these buildings houses a disused swimming pool within a lean to style conservatory.
The land extends to the side and rear of the properties with two accesses off the lane itself. There is open farmland to side and rear - with the plot enjoying a southerly aspect.
