Traditional farmhouse set in 6 acres in idyllic countryside location, requiring full refurbishment

Description

Barbey farm was purchased by the current owner in 2021 and is run as part of a larger livestock farming enterprise. The farmhouse (which has been vacant for a period of time and requires renovation) is surplus to the requirements of the owner and is consequently being offered for sale with the adjoining woodland and paddock.

The traditional stone built farmhouse is well-proportioned with a substantial floor area (approximately 214 square metres) and is surrounded by an enclosed garden and adjoining mature woodland providing shelter and privacy to the house. The property is accessed via a private gated driveway which leads to a parking area at the side of the house. The paddock is accessed via a track leading from the farmhouse through the woodland, although some works are required to clear this route. The farmhouse, paddock and woodland represent an excellent opportunity to create a smallholding or equestrian property.

Barbey is a charming period farmhouse thought to date from the 19th century. The farmhouse has a southwesterly aspect and is traditionally constructed of stone and slate. The generous accommodation is spread across two floors, including a separate former maid’s quarters, as shown on the accompanying floor plans.

The house is surrounded by enclosed gardens with lawn and mature trees. There are dilapidated outbuildings to the rear of the house. Adjacent to the gardens is an area of amenity woodland through which there is access to the grazing paddock extending to approximately 4 acres.
