Description

The sale of the Chestnut Centre presents a rare opportunity to acquire a site with planning permission (Ref: NP/HPK/0420/0301) for a 3328 sq ft Eco House, a stone built barn with planning permission for a three bedroom, two bathroom house and a Grade II listed stone house with a separate annex.

Set within about 1.75 acres the properties enjoy fantastic rural views within a wooded and private enclave and a further 25 acres or thereabouts of parkland may be available by separate negotiation.

Recently used as classrooms for The Chestnut Centre the barn has already undergone considerable upgrading from its farming origins and presents the opportunity to create a lovely home in a superb rural yet not isolated setting.

The property has services connected and lies behind a cobbled courtyard area. The gardens and parking area will lie to the front and side creating a private and self-contained space.

Chestnut Farm is a Grade II listed house requiring general updating and improvement to the main house and the stone built annex provides ancillary accommodation.

The property includes some lovely period features including sash windows with panelled reveals, a lovely built in cupboard desk and a stone mantled fireplace to the living room. The front door opens to a hall with a turning staircase and steps down to a barrel vaulted cellar, two reception rooms and a rear store room.

The kitchen and bathroom are likely to need complete refurbishment and there is no central heating currently.

The annex has been used as an office historically with storage rooms but has planning permission to create an ancillary one bedroomed cottage including a ground floor dining kitchen, a living room, a first floor bedroom and an en suite shower room.

The gardens are very manageable extending to the side and rear with an area between the house and the annex.

Mains water and Electricity are available at the property. There is septic tank drainage to two of the properties which may require upgrading to meet current regulations.
