BUILDINGS



The buildings at Winston Court Farm provide tremendous potential to be brought back into utilisation to assist any farming/equestrian enterprise or, subject to gaining the necessary planning consents, the buildings do offer potential for changes of use to residential or holiday lets or providing additional attraction to the established glamping site.



Set within the most appealing courtyard the traditional buildings are mainly of a stone construction under a slate roof with stone, concrete, and earth floors. The main building is the most substantial and is in an excellent structural condition offering significant potential as mentioned above. Of traditional stone construction under a slate roof with many original features complimenting the character of the building. Split into three main compartments with mezzanine floors over each 'end' of the building historically providing hay lofts but now used for general storage. The main internal section of the building provides scope for use alongside the glamping enterprise or similar.



Agent's Note; Planning permission is currently been investigated by the vendors for change of use to provide additional residential accommodation. An application is due to be submitted shortly comprising a conversion of the main barn to provide a 3-bedroom and a 4-bedroom dwelling. As yet, no formal application has been submitted but the pre application advice, architectural designs and other information can be made available by request from the selling agent.

A second, significant range of farm buildings, adjoining the farmhouse, comprises the old dairy buildings, cart sheds and stabling of mainly a traditional stone construction with some more modern elevations under a slate roof with a concrete floor. Again, holding potential for changes of use (STPP) perhaps in addition to the main dwelling and/or as additional holiday lets or similar.
