Lot 1 - A three storey farmhouse requiring modernisation, a range buildings, and about 43 acres of grassland in a delightful rural position close to Abbots Bromley. Further land available.
Situation
Bentilee Farm sits in a beautiful location with far reaching rural views and less than two miles to the south east of the soughtafter village of Abbots Bromley in east Staffordshire. The village offers a range of pubs, a shop and doctors’ surgery. The property is conveniently located between Stafford, Burton on Trent, Uttoxeter and Lichfield which offer a broader range of local facilities. The area offers a range of options for walking and cycling, with fishing and sailing available on Blithfield Reservoir less than three miles away.
Rail services are available at Stafford, Lichfield and Uttoxeter and there is easy access to the A50 and A38 being about 10 miles and 11 miles distant respectively. There is an excellent range of schooling within the area including Denstone College, Abbotsholme School, the JCB Academy, and Thomas Alleyne’s School in Uttoxeter.
Description
Bentilee Farm provides a rare opportunity to purchase a parcel of land within an attractive ring-fenced farm with up to 123.17 acres available which has been in the same family ownership for 80 years. The farm will appeal to a broad range of purchasers, from agricultural buyers to those looking for a property with great potential within a lovely setting. The farmhouse benefits from excellent views and extensive accommodation, and there is a large range of traditional and modern buildings also offering great potential. The property is approached via a driveway leading off Glass Lane as well as a number of gateways leading off Glass Lane and Abbots Bromley Road/Blunt’s Hollow.
Accommodation
The house offers an exciting opportunity to carry out a scheme of modernisation, reconfiguration or redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents.
The ground floor includes a reception hall leading to two well-proportioned reception rooms, both with fireplaces, a snug, kitchen, and a shower room.
The first floor includes four large bedrooms off a galleried landing, benefitting from superb views and a family bathroom.
The second floor offers extensive attic space including four rooms and additional storage, and this would historically have provided accommodation for farm workers.
The house accommodation extends to about 3,614 sq. ft gross internal area (GIA) including the attics. Attached to the southern elevation of the farmhouse is the ‘Old Dairy’ and ‘Washhouse’ which form part of an L-shaped range of red brick buildings; it is about 908 sq ft and offers scope for a variety of uses subject to consents.
Access and buildings
Adjoining the house are yards with a mixture of buildings. A part two storey traditional range of brick and tile construction, plus two extensions, offers about 6,400 sq. ft and could be put to a variety of uses. This may include conversion to additional accommodation, home office, workshop, and equestrian purposes, subject to any necessary planning consents. Very usefully it benefits from having a great range of doorways and window openings.
The modern buildings are of mixed construction and extend to about 9,100 sq ft (approximate) and include loose stock housing, cow kennels, barns and general storage.
Please note that all floor areas and dimensions are approximate and should not be relied upon. Potential purchasers are welcome to instruct an independent survey to verify these.
Lotting
The property is available as a whole or alternatively in three lots as follows:
Lot 1 - House, garden, buildings, yards and about 43.38 acres of grassland and ponds, as shown edged red on the sale plan. About 45.33 acres in total. Access is via the farm drive leading off Glass Lane.
Lot 2 - About 62.86 acres of grassland and ponds, as shown edged blue on the sale plan. Access is via two gateways leading off Glass Lane.
Lot 3 - About 13.26 acres of grassland as shown edged yellow on the sale plan. Access is via two gateways off Abbots Bromley Road/Blunt’s Hollow and the corner with Glass Lane.
If the farm is sold in lots then cross-rights and reservations may need to be reserved where required, for example for maintenance, services and access.
