For Sale by LIVE STREAM AUCTION

The Farmhouse
Formerly part of the Zeals Estate, Fitz farmhouse provides an opportunity to refurbish a 19th century farmhouse to its former glory. Constructed of stone elevations under an oak and slate roof the property boasts a host of original features including brick quoins, flagstone floors, fireplaces and exposed beams. The generously sized house offers scope to reconfigure the current 5 bedroom, 2 staircase layout. Some works have been undertaken in recent years by the vendors including a replacement main roof in 2010 and rear lean-to roof in 2018 and some replacement double glazing in 2018. The property is not listed. Outside the south facing house enjoys a large garden mainly down to grass with shrubs enclosed within an overgrown hedgerow and a stone wall.

Outbuildings
Situated around a courtyard is a range of stone farm buildings offering potential for a range of uses, subject to necessary consents. The most impressive is a traditional barn under a slate roof with full height timber doors, original ventilation slits and exposed roof timbers internally. Adjoining is a part covered stock pen and a stone wood store. The footprint is 78.5 sq.m (843 sq.ft).
Opposite is a L-shaped single storey range formerly a dairy, milk tank room, stores, stables and a garage. The footprint is 126.8 sq.m (1,365 sq.ft). The purchaser will block up the sliding doors on the west elevation of the bulk tank room.

The Land
Beyond the farmhouse garden is a level field of pasture land extending to just over 2 acres with mature hedgerow boundaries. Fitz Farmhouse will benefit from a private bridleway over adjoining land to Fantley Lane to the north. The purchaser will erect and maintain a stockproof fence between A and B.

Fitz Farmhouse is located in a rural yet accessible position in the rural parish of Silton. Nearby Bourton village boosts a primary school, shop, garage and pub. There is a good network of country lanes, footpaths and a private bridleway onto Fantley Lane. Stourhead, Gillingham town and Mere are all 3 miles away.
