Description

Hoggs Farm is a detached Grade II listed farmhouse with rich historical significance, believed to have origins in the 17th century. This property presents a distinctive opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors looking to restore a home filled with character. While it has undergone some modifications in the 20th century, it now requires extensive refurbishment to address visible structural concerns, making it suitable primarily for cash buyers or those experienced in renovation projects. The ground floor features an open-plan living and dining area highlighted by a prominent inglenook fireplace, alongside a kitchen/breakfast room and a practical downstairs bathroom with bootroom. Upstairs, three bedrooms exude period charm, showcasing original detail that can be revitalized through careful development. Situated on an ample plot with wraparound gardens, Hoggs Farm also includes various outbuildings, stables, and a large agricultural barn at the rear. The barn holds excellent potential for conversion into residential spaces or can be utilized for storage or commercial purposes (subject to obtaining appropriate planning permissions). This property’s combination of historical allure and substantial grounds offers an exciting canvas for transformation into a unique family home or investment opportunity. A pre-application has already been submitted regarding the conversion of the barns, indicating that there may be feasible routes to residential development. As this home requires significant work before becoming habitable, prospective buyers should consider securing a professional survey as part of their due diligence process.
