A listed farmhouse for restoration and a barn for conversion in a rural situation.
Description
KEMPS BARN WITH RESIDENTIAL PLANANING REF: 200631.
A Grade II listed timber-framed barn which is in a state of disrepair and supported by scaffolding. The barn is believed to date from the early 19th century, black weather-boarded, timer-framed with a grey corrugated roof. The barn has five bays, with a gabled wing to the road, and later lean-to and flat roof extensions. The proposals seek to maintain the barn in as near its original state as possible, whilst also providing a scheme which is of a size to ensure that the conversion of the barn is viable and can provide a four bedroom dwelling.
The layout includes a living/dining room, study, entrance hall, kitchen, utility room, bathroom, three bedrooms on the ground floor, one with en suite and a principal bedroom on the first floor with en suite. The bathroom, third bedroom and fourth bedroom form a rear extension. Outside, two car parking spaces are proposed to the rear of the site. The access into the site will remain in its current layout. The residential garden is to the rear with access from the barn via the living/dining room.
KEMPS FARMHOUSE
A Grade II listed, substantial timber-framed farmhouse listed Grade II and now in need of restoration. An extract from the listing states: "C17 house, timber-framed and plastered, with red plain tile roof. Gabled crosswing at east end, undercut. Extensively altered in C20"
The house is approached through an open porch into a stone-floored hallway at one end of the house. There is access from the hall to a boiler room housing an oil-fired boiler, utility room and shower room with W.C. At the heart of the house is an inner hall and sitting room with staircase whilst a studwork partition separates a living room, dining room and a further reception room which may suit as a home office. At the far end of the house is a kitchen/breakfast room extending the full depth of the house.
The first floor has a central landing, five bedrooms, some with exposed studwork, and a family bathroom.
Outside
A driveway passes between the barn and house to a parking area. The house is set deep within its plot and overlooks its own substantial front lawns. To the rear the land is laid to grass with post and rail fencing (needing repair) and separating the adjoining farmland which provides open views. Immediately adjacent, separated by a bank of trees, is a block of farmland extending to approximately 2.25 acres. This is available by separate negotiation. Possession will be subject to the termination of a farming licence and crop harvest.
House and barn with about 1.25 acres
Farmland available separately about 2.25 acres. The land is currently farmed and vacant possession will be dependent on crop rotation.
Location
Colchester: 5.7 miles (9 km); Chelmsford: 23 miles (37 km); Ipswich: 22 miles (36 km). All distances approximate.
Kemps farm is situated close to the picturesque village of Peldon and lies approximately 800 metres south-east of the village and 5.7 miles south of Colchester, surrounded by some of the most attractive countryside in Essex.
The village offers some facilities and services including a community hall, church and two public houses. The nearest primary school is 3 miles north in Langenhoe.
Close by is the Abberton Reservoir and Nature Reserve, a wetland site of international importance for wildfowl, which provides excellent bird watching opportunities and fabulous views over the 1,200 acre reservoir.
The historic town of Colchester is located within 6 miles and provides a more comprehensive shopping centre and a range of schooling. For the commuter there is a train station at Colchester to London Liverpool Street. A bus stop lies 85m to the west of the site along Mersea Road. There are three bus services (63, 67B and 68) which provide links to and from Colchester throughout the day.
Square Footage: 2,530 sq ft
Acreage: 1.25 Acres
Directions
From Colchester take the B1025 to Mersea passing through Langenhoe. Continue to the junction with the Peldon Rose Inn, turning right towards Peldon on the Mersea Road and Kemps farm will be found on the right-hand side.
Postcode: CO5 7QG
Additional Info
Services: Mains water and electricity. Oil-fired central heating. It will be the responsibility of the purchaser to install private drainage systems for the barn and house.
Agent’s Note: (1) Details of the planning permission and drawings are available upon request or available on Colchester Borough Council’s website.
Agent's Note (2) Offers are invited subject to contract by noon on Wednesday 16th June unless previously sold. All those wishing to offer should complete a tender form, available on request. It is anticipated that the property will suit cash buyers. It is unlikely the property is mortgageable with a mainstream lender.
