8 bedroom house

Humbers Farm is in need of complete refurbishment internally with the current owners having stripped out the house, therefore allowing a new owner to put their own mark on the existing farmhouse which is unlisted. See the attached floorplans. In addition a Certificate of Lawfulness was obtained for the erection of outbuildings to provide a home office, party/meeting room, shower room, gymnasium as well as various stores. The outbuilding is to be used for the incidental enjoyment of the dwelling/house.

Alternatively, Humbers Farm could be demolished and a new country house offering approximately 5,296 sq ft (429 sq m) of living accommodation constructed (please see 'Proposed' floor plan within this brochure).
