Description

Hoggs Farm presents a distinctive opportunity for those interested in a substantial redevelopment project. This detached Grade II listed farmhouse, believed to have origins in the 17th century, retains numerous original features that reflect its historical significance. Despite some adaptations over the 20th century, it currently faces notable structural challenges which render it unmortgageable; thus, it is ideal for cash buyers or experienced renovators willing to invest time and resources into its restoration. The ground floor layout includes an inviting open-plan lounge and dining space featuring a charming inglenook fireplace, a kitchen/breakfast area, and a downstairs bathroom with an adjacent bootroom. The upper level hosts three character-rich bedrooms that hold potential for rejuvenation. This property is rich in period details just waiting for a careful renovation to restore its former glory. Set within expansive wraparound gardens, Hoggs Farm also benefits from several outbuildings, stables, and a sizable agricultural barn situated at the rear. The barn represents fantastic potential for various uses—whether you're considering conversion to residential dwellings (subject to planning permissions), continued storage solutions, or even business ventures. The combination of historic allure, generous land area, and significant transformation potential makes Hoggs Farm an exceptional prospect for those aiming to create something unique. A professional survey is highly recommended due to the current state of disrepair. Notably, clients have initiated discussions regarding the conversion of outbuildings on this Green Belt land into three residential units—an endeavor likely feasible if structural integrity can be demonstrated.
