To the rear is a study and ground floor shower room.

On the first floor are five glorious bedrooms, the main bedroom with a spacious en suite bathroom with separate shower. The guest bedroom has an en suite shower room and there is also a large family bathroom with shower.

Stone Barns - There is a significant range of traditional stone outbuildings backing on to the A35, these two storey barns are steeped in history and have plenty of potential, subject to the necessary consents. There are two further stone barns further up a track (which is to be shared with the cottage and farm buildings beyond).

Land - The house includes three south facing paddocks, split with tree-lined banks, they would benefit from some improvement. The land included is 3.24 acres (1.31 ha).

Further Available -

Cottage - West of the buildings is a renovated 3 bedroom cottage, let on an AST. Whilst not available separately at this time the vendors would consider a sale alongside the house.

Buildings & Land - Further up the track, and if sold separately will have a right of access for agricultural purposes, is a substantial range of more modern farm buildings and about 3.85 acres (1.56 ha) , which includes a potential additional access point to Whitfield further west.

Development Potential - In 16th Feb 2018 outline consent was granted (Ref 16/0337/OUT) for a new access point and the erection of 4 houses (3 affordable & 1 open market), this consent has since lapsed, however it demonstrates what potential there may be for the land. Our client is therefore going to include an uplift clause in the contract for 25% of the increase in value for additional residential properties over a period of 25 years.

Services - Mains electric, water and drainage. Propane gas cylinder. Council Tax Band: F
