Land for sale

BEING SOLD VIA SECURE SALE ONLINE BIDDING. TERMS & CONDITIONS APPLY. STARTING BID £600,000

Set in the former farm buildings of High Lea Farm, this beautiful series of buildings has been used previously as school rooms, Retreat accommodation, offices/workshops for local people, and shops for local producers. The plot of land has the benefit of dual access, off-road parking for dozens of vehicles, and a small paddock.

The buildings have multiple entrances. To the left is a two storey red brick building in good condition, the ground floor of which was previously used as a butchers’ shop. The first floor is split into three separate offices. Currently the building has one occupant, ‘The Avid Seamstress’, whose lease expires in June 2025. Beyond and connected to the Hayward Building is a modern WC & shower block for ladies and gents, (not shown on map). At a right angle to the office buildings, the brick built barns, in various conditions, are currently used as storage. The ‘U’ shape of the original buildings is completed by a large, three-storey corner former grain drying and processing mill. The return range, now derelict, formerly housed a multi-purpose shop and café, toilets, cold storage etc.

The Hayward Range of Buildings offer great potential and, subject to planning permission, could be converted into stunning holiday cottages or residential dwellings.
