An attractive ring-fenced farm set in the Welland Valley
Description
Kirby Hall Farm is a productive arable farm set within a ring fence and includes a delightful farmhouse that has recently been fully refurbished, along with a separate annexe. The two properties are set in the heart of the farm down a private drive, offering privacy and tranquillity. Adjacent to the farmhouse is the farm yard where there are two excellent modern farm buildings.
The farmhouse was renovated in 2021 with the works having been completed to a high standard, the property retains character throughout while benefitting from modern features. At the same time the annexe was constructed providing further living accommodation.
The farm is situated in the Welland Valley, an area known for its rolling countryside and scenic villages. The land is productive and capable of growing a wide variety of combinable crops. Over the last five years the land has been farmed in a regenerative manner, improving the soil structure and the overall productivity of the farm with minimal tillage practices operated alongside other regenerative practices.
Kirby Hall Farmhouse
The property is approached from the public road along a private drive leading to a parking area at the front of the house. The house benefits from far reaching views across its own land and over the Welland Valley.
The refurbishment of the farmhouse has created a beautiful family home set across two floors with large open plan living areas. The property is built of stone with a slate and pan tile roof, it is Grade II Listed and was thought to have been constructed late in the 18th Century.
The entrance hall is full height and benefits from a feature window allowing light to flow into the property. The entrance hall leads through to a living area and onto the kitchen, all open plan, this area is the focal point of the house, there is a large island unit which is used for dining and AGA. To the rear of the kitchen is a large utility which includes shower room and boot room, beyond this is a large store room offering potential for a number of alternative uses. There are a further two reception rooms including a substantial dining room. The ground floor benefits form under floor heating throughout.
On the first floor there are five double bedrooms and three bathrooms, there are two staircases one leading to the main hall and a second leading off the dining room. Present throughout the property are exposed timber beams and feature stone walls, while modern characteristics have been encompassed in the design including a feature stair case from the entrance hall.
The Annexe
To the rear of the farmhouse is the annexe which is set cross
one floor. There is a well proportioned open plan living area with kitchen that includes an AGA. Off the hallway are two double bedrooms, family bathroom and a utility room, there is under floor heating throughout the property.
To the front of the farmhouse are a range of traditional buildings that require investment. Subject to planning permission they offer the opportunity for a number of alternative uses.
There is a gravelled area and concrete apron to the rear of the house with picket fencing delineating the boundary with the annexe. There is scope to further enhance the outside of the properties with additional landscaping building on what has already been completed.
Agricultural buildings
There are two modern steel frame agricultural buildings, one is used as a fertiliser and machinery store while the other building is used as a grain store. Both sheds benefit from roller shutter doors, the grain store includes grain walling, concrete flooring and has capacity for 1000 tonnes.
The general purpose building has a 48kv solar array located on the roof with batteries located inside of the building, the electricity produced from the solar array supplies the residential property and farm buildings. A generator is located in the shed with this being connected to the battery, so if necessary can provide additional electricity when required.
