The Property - Prixford Barton is a beautifully situated, Grade II Listed former farmhouse, with origins believed to date back circa 1684. The property offers spacious and versatile accommodation, with a wealth of character features, including exposed beams and stonework, flagstone flooring and natural wood doors and windows. These have been skilfully blended to incorporate an excellent range of modern day conveniences including an indoor heated swimming pool and an outdoor hot tub.
At present, the property offers four reception room, six bedroom (two en-suite) accommodation, with a studio and study and with some alterations, could provide ancillary accommodation (subject to any necessary planning permissions). This beautiful character residence is currently run as a successful holiday let (please later note for further information), but could equally suit as a stunning family home.
The property further benefits from a range of stone barns, which offer vast potential for a variety of uses (STPP), including holiday cottages, studio, home office or classic or modern car storage.
Standing in mature grounds of circa 2.9 acres with a high degree of privacy, a stream and three ponds; only with a full viewing can you appreciate the quality and calibre of this stunning residence, offered to the open market with no ongoing chain.
Income Note: The property is currently run as a 4* holiday let. The vendors have had an appraisal, and if some upgrades and alterations were made to increase the property to be 5*, the anticipated gross income is projected to be between £90,000 and £135,000 per annum. There is also further potential with the barns offering scope for conversion (STPP) which could furthermore increase the turnover significantly.
