LOT 1 – FARMHOUSE AND RANGE OF TRADITIONAL BARNS WITH ORCHARD
The Farmhouse is a detached Grade II Listed, four-bedroom dwelling that is in need of complete renovation throughout, but offers the
potential to create a characterful and substantial family home in a rural setting. The construction of the property comprises traditional stone walls beneath a pitched slate roof.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and briefly comprises: the Entrance Hall leading through to the Kitchen, Lounge with attractive original fireplace and stairs rising to the first floor, Drawing Room with large bay window and exposed beams, Diary Room and door into the Dining Room which is full of natural light from its high ceiling and large window that pleasantly overlooks the garden to the rear.
Stairs from the hallway rise to the first floor which currently comprises a Landing area leading to four spacious Double Bedrooms and a Family
Bathroom with loft access.
The Farmhouse and Buildings benefit from two access points directly from Mill Lane, both of which offer extensive parking areas for multiple vehicles. The first driveway runs alongside the Farmhouse and leads into the yard area at the rear, whilst the second access point is immediately north of the Grain Store going through to the courtyard.
The garden to the rear of the Farmhouse is mainly laid to lawn, populated with some mature shrubs and trees. Enclosed by stone walls and hedged boundaries, the garden offers a peaceful and private space to enjoy.
The Orchard to the rear of the buildings extends to approximately 0.86 acres (0.35 ha) and comprises an area of permanent pasture land
interspersed with various trees, bound by mature hedgerows. Located within the orchard is a useful storage shed of stone construction beneath a tiled roof.
In all, Lot 1 extends to 1.78 acres (0.72 ha).
