_The Property_
In a quiet unspoilt rural location designated an Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty (aonb), away from passing traffic, this unique property offers the
opportunity to create a fantastic country home and use the land for ponies,
horticulture, conservation or some other amenity use. This characterful
farmhouse now requires renovation, and externally benefits from brick window
reveals and lintels, rag slate roof with decorative ridge tiles and pair of
brick chimney stacks.
From the entrance hall, doors lead to both ground floor reception rooms that
are full of character features including beamed ceilings, handsome slate
fireplaces, wood panelling and many slate flag floors. A modern extension to
the rear provides fitted kitchen, family bathroom and rear porch. From the
entrance hall, a traditional staircase rises to three first floor bedrooms,
each having lovely views to the front.
Outside
Although overgrown, the enclosed front garden offers the opportunity to
restore the former glory and create sheltered sitting out areas.
The Land
Surrounding the property on three sides and extending to about 11. 4 acres
(4. 6ha), the relatively level and gently sloping land is currently laid to
grass and divided into five enclosures by mature Cornish hedges complemented
by an array of trees including beech, crab apple, sycamore and oak trees. From
the Council lane a track leads up to the parking area adjacent to the house
where a level 0. 67 acre field is designated Common Right of Way (CRoW) access
on foot only (shaded orange on the site plan). Lying about 50m southwest of
the house are some dilapidated and overgrown stone outbuildings (one of which
