About 4.80 acres
Guide Price £699,000
The Dwelling
The house was originally built from about 2008 and is a modern, deceptively spacious dwelling providing four bedrooms and two bathrooms on two floors. On the ground floor there is a spacious kitchen/dining room, a good size sitting room with multi-fuel burner and a spacious south facing conservatory together with a ground floor main bedroom with an ensuite shower room. On the first floor there are three further bedrooms and a bathroom. There is underfloor heating across the whole of the ground floor. The CDA range Cooker, the CDA freezer and dishwasher will all remain at the property.
Planning
The house is subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition (planning consent ref 14/00933/AS). Planning Condition 3 of this planning consent sates that ‘’the occupancy of the dwelling shall be limited to a person solely or mainly working or last working in the locality and agriculture (as defined in Section 336 of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990) or forestry or a widow or widower of such a person and to any resident dependents”.
Agriculture is defined in Section 336 of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990 as “Agriculture includes horticulture, fruit growing, seed growing, dairy farming, the breeding and keeping of livestock (including any creature for the production of food, wool, skins or fur or for the purpose of its use in the farming of land), the use of land as grazing land, meadow land, osier land, market gardens and nursery grounds, and the use of land for woodlands where that use is ancillary to the farming of land for other agricultural purposes, an agricultural” shall be construed accordingly.
All enquiries relating to any planning matter should be referred to the planning department at Ashford Borough Council (ashford.gov.uk).
Completion
Completion will take place after 30th November 2021 to allow the sellers the chance to clear the property.
Gardens
The property has good space around it but with currently untended gardens. The area to the front of the house could be returned to lawn whilst there is an area of lawn and a proposed new patio to the rear of the property. There is a single garage to the side.
Outside
The property is approached through a five-bar gate leading to a concreate entrance driveway that provides access to the house and the agricultural buildings and land. This concrete roadway continues alongside the first poultry building before turning into a hard trackway which leads to the bottom of the site to the newest of the poultry buildings.
Farm & Outbuildings
1) Poultry Building 1 - about 150’ x 45’, this building is currently used for the sellers logging business but could easily be used for poultry or pheasants. There is a storage room to front with a former feed hopper/silo.
2) Poultry Building 2 - about 138’ x 48’, this building has a workshop and a storeroom at one end with the remainder being one large open area previously used to house poultry.
3) Poultry Building 3 - about 98’ x 59’, this is the newest of the buildings and is located at the southern end of the property and has a small storeroom in one corner and a small external grain silo.
4) In addition to the three poultry buildings, there are propane gas storage containers, a green storage container, a small shed, a Williams chiller unit and a mobile home which lies between buildings 1 and 2.
Land
Immediately to the rear of the house are two small paddocks with the remains of a former field shelter. Beyond is an open unfenced area where equipment and machinery is currently stored. Beyond the poultry buildings is a separate area that runs alongside the northern edge of the canal ditch which is currently quite overgrown but could be brought back into a more manageable condition.
Services
Mains water and electricity, a Gabarron electric boiler serves underfloor heating & radiators and hot water. Private drainage system, believed to be a cesspool.
