A farmhouse and farmyard in a spectacular edge-of-village hilltop setting within 25 acres of land, with planning consent granted for the creation of six new barn conversion dwellings
Description
An opportunity to acquire a traditional Georgian farmhouse and farmyard in an attractive edge-of-village hilltop setting with unrivalled views of East Leicestershire, within 25 acres of land, with planning consent granted for the creation of six additional residential barn conversions within the farmyard.
Halstead House is an attractive and symmetrical three-storey ironstone-under-Welsh slate grade II listed dwelling, with high ceilings to the principal rooms, large sash windows framing stunning southerly views to the front over the gardens and land, and a real sense of space. It requires modernisation. It has three reception rooms and up to seven bedrooms, as currently configured, extending to approximately 4400 square feet, on the floor plan.
Adjoining the house to the east, a linked lower, largely single storey wing of former stables and outbuildings, offering further potential as a home office, studio or ancillary annex, subject to appropriate planning consents being sought.
Harborough District Council have granted planning consent within the farmyard to the rear of the farmhouse, dated 21st September 2021 (ref: 19/02009/FUL) for the demolition of five agricultural buildings and the conversion and extension of five former agricultural buildings and a wedding venue to create six new dwellings, including landscaping, parking and access.
The six new dwellings vary between two to five bedrooms, some single storey and others two storey, largely working within the existing footprints of the buildings, although there is a single storey extension proposed to plot 1. They are arranged around a listed former feed mill within the farmyard, which adjoins plot 4.
The plans are available on the Council planning portal, or from the agent, but the plots and their gross internal areas from the architect, which do not allow for the dry lining and insulation, are summarised as:
Plot 1 – A two bedroom, two storey house 1227 sq.ft
Plot 2 – A five bedroom, two storey house 3799 sq.ft
Plot 3 – A three bedroom, two storey house 2680 sq ft
Plot 4 – A three bedroom, two storey house 1840 sq ft
Plot 5 – A three bedroom, single storey house 1657 sq ft
Plot 6 – A three bedroom, single storey house 1367 sq ft
Outside
Vehicular access would be from the existing lane, with a driveway and parking for the farmhouse to the west. Vehicular access for plots 2-6 would stretch the length of the north-western elevation. Plot 1 would be accessed via the farmstead’s existing archway adjacent to the farmhouse.
There is a formal garden set out to the south of the farm house, with two fish ponds and fabulous views over the adjoining land to rolling countryside. The land stretches to the south and wraps around the farmyard to the north side, as shown on the promap plan. It extends to 25 acres, or thereabouts, in total.
Location
The property is located in Halstead, a hamlet just outside the village of Tilton on the Hill to the east of Leicester, two miles north of the A47 Leicester to Peterborough road.
The property is conveniently placed between the market towns of Oakham (eight miles east), Melton Mowbray (11 miles north) and Market Harborough (14 miles south), with East Midlands Trains mainline commuter services from London St Pancras from 56 mins).
Tilton on the Hill is served by the Rose & Crown public house, a village store and parish church, and currently also benefits from a twice weekly Fish & Chips van.
This property is positioned at the end of a country lane, connecting from Oakham Road, in an attractive hilltop setting.
A public footpath runs along the length of the lane and around the western boundary of the yard, continuing across rolling countryside, enabling wonderful walks from the property itself
