Full Description
Charwelton Hill Farm is a residential pasture farm comprising a farm house and a range of traditional farm buildings together with more modern steel framed buildings and land extending to about 233 acres in a ring fence. The farm house would benefit from modernisation and the farm buildings both at the steading and within the farm land have potential for alternative uses subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

The Farm House is constructed of a mix of stone and red brick with a pitched slate roof, the gross internal area has been measured as approximately 2,493 sq ft (231 sq m) and the accommodation is provided over two floors, the Gardens of the house are predominantly east facing with views over the farm and surrounding countryside, there are paved areas with planted borders. . Adjacent to the house and stone built Porch is a double storey brick Thrashing Barn and an open fronted block and timber framed Garage.

The Farm House and Buildings are accessed off a single private drive from the highway. The Buildings lie within the centre of the farm and consist of a range of brick and stone buildings fronting a part concrete courtyard leading to a hardcore area fronting a pair of Dutch Barns which are shown shaded blue and grey on the block and floor plans. The buildings (including Thrashing Barn and Porch) extend to a total of 1,056 sq m (11,363 sq ft) floor area and provide the potential for conversion with the possibility of alternative uses subject to obtaining the necessary consents.

The majority of the land at the farm is classified as Grade 3 and extends in all to about 233 acres of pasture and woodland which has been grazed predominantly by sheep and cattle over the years and is contained within well defined enclosures with part stock proof fencing and part mature hedge boundaries. The land rises sharply from the south to the north with some level areas, some of the land could be converted into an arable rotation (with approval from Natural England), there is also some ridge and furrow pasture land. There are some natural features within the land as well as interconnecting field gates and highway access together with several natural drinking water points as well as access to the spring fed troughs. Permission could also be sought from Natural England to allow the conversion of some of the pasture land into an arable rotation.
