Property Description - Entrance and Reception:
The property is accessed via a gravel pathway that leads to a charming lead-roofed brick porch. A wide, glazed front door opens into the Reception Hall, featuring a polished Lias stone slab floor and a double-panelled radiator.

Living Areas:
The Drawing Room exudes elegance with a deep bay, sash windows, and a white marble fireplace with tiled slips and hearth. The Dining Room, with dual aspect sash windows in a deep bay, includes an electric night storage heater, a marble fire surround with a Baxi fire, and a tiled hearth.

Rear Hall and Ancillary Rooms:
A Georgian fanlight door connects the Reception Hall to the Rear Hall, which also has a polished Lias stone slab floor. This hall features a servant bellboard with eight bells (some operational) and access to the cellar. The Breakfast Room includes a marble fireplace with cast iron insert and red glazed slip tiles, built-in cupboards, and a large walk-in storage cupboard. The spacious Kitchen boasts a large fireplace with a Jack arch housing an Esse solid fuel cooker, built-in storage cupboards, partially fitted oak effect units with marble top work surfaces, and space for an electric cooker. The Scullery, China Pantry, and Downstairs Cloakroom (formerly the Jam Room) offer practical amenities, including matching units, stainless steel sinks, and additional storage. The Dairy, with polished Lias stone slab flooring, slate settlas, and wall shelving, leads to the former back kitchen.

Verandah and Outbuildings:
The partially enclosed verandah features a polished Lias stone slab floor, a large open fireplace with a bread oven, and an old copper to the side. Additional outbuildings include the Former Cheese Room with a concrete floor, the Egg Room with a Lias stone slab floor and a feature water pump, and the Coal House, which is accessible from the rear yard. The Coal House is attached to the former outside Dairy, which has a concrete floor, Belfast sink, and plumbing for a washing machine.

First Floor and Bedrooms:
A wide staircase with panelled sides and a curving mahogany balustrade leads to the first-floor galleried landing. The Family Bathroom contains an airing cupboard, a ladder rack towel rail, a matching white suite, and a shower cubicle. Bathroom Two offers a pedestal wash hand basin, a cast iron roll top bath, and tiling up to the dado rail. The bedrooms each feature unique details such as marble fireplaces with decorative tiled slips, storage cupboards, and interconnected doors, with Bedroom Four offering a ceiling loft hatch.

Gardens and Grounds:
The rear of the property includes a yard partially covered with Lias slabs and blue engineering bricks. The garden, accessed through wrought iron gates, is a highlight, featuring espalier pear and fruit trees, numerous shrubs, rambling roses, and extensive lawns bordered by dwarf brick walls. A stone path leads to an orchard area with apple and plum trees, currant bushes, raspberry canes, and a grapevine, all enjoying excellent south/eastward views towards Coughton Court, the Alne Hills, and Oversley Hill.

Proposed Development:
The proposed development involves converting historic brick and tile farm buildings into three dwellings, along with the construction of a detached garage block and other ancillary works. The modern agricultural buildings adjacent to the traditional farmstead will be demolished. The traditional buildings, arranged in a horseshoe shape around three sides of a courtyard, will be transformed into one four-bedroom dwelling and two two-bedroom dwellings. A modern tractor shed on the western side of the courtyard will be replaced with a single-storey garage block, constructed with traditional brick and tile to match the existing agricultural buildings. The new garage block will include a double garage for each dwelling and an enclosed bin store.

Services & Planning - This expansive site, covering approximately 2.36 acres (0.95 ha), includes part of the original farmyard, a two-story brick former Coach House, a modern Dutch barn, and a permanent pasture field at the rear. Full planning permission, granted on April 27th, 2022 (Ref. 21/02912/full), allows for the residential conversion of the property into three dwelling units with an accompanying garage block.

The site also features an eight-bay Dutch barn, measuring 140’ 6” x 25’ (42.8m x 7.62m), with an additional lean-to of 140’ 6” x 30’ (42.8m x 9.14m). The barn has a partially concrete floor and is partially clad in corrugated steel. Additionally, a roadside steel portal-framed open-fronted storage building, measuring 45’ x 20’ (14.3m x 6m), is situated on the property. This structure has a pitched fibre cement roof, concrete block, corrugated fibre cement walling, and a concrete floor.

Several water troughs are located on the land, each with separate mains supplies. The site is serviced by mains electricity (3 Phase) and mains water, with hot water provided by an immersion heater. Foul drainage is connected to the mains, and it is believed that mains gas is available along the A435. Prospective purchasers are advised to verify the availability of these services with the relevant utility companies.
