Situated between the quaint villages of Crook and Willington, this smallholding offers a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a versatile property. With approximately 26 acres (10 hectares) of land, a farmhouse, stables, and a sizable traditional stone barn with approved planning permission for conversion into a second dwelling, there is significant potential for renovation and development.
The farmhouse itself features two bedrooms, a bathroom, utility room, kitchen, and two reception areas that provide captivating views of the surrounding countryside. An attached garage and front garden further enhance the home's appeal. The existing structure presents an ideal canvas for modern updates while retaining its rustic charm.
In terms of investment potential, the large barn could be transformed into an additional living space or rental unit, appealing to buyers seeking supplementary income options. Buyers are encouraged to review planning application DM/23/00547/FPA with the local authority for more details on the specific permissions granted.
The land is organized into several paddocks suitable for both grazing and mowing, currently serving equine needs with existing horse stables and outbuildings. The absence of any environmental schemes makes it feasible for prospective owners to enter into the Sustainable Farming Incentive program when re-opened.
The property benefits from essential services including mains electricity, water, gas supply, and drainage via a septic tank. Additionally, it comes with rights regarding access paths and easements that ensure utility across the parcel.
For nature enthusiasts or those who appreciate outdoor activities, there's a public footpath crossing through the land, offering direct access to picturesque walks in the area.
With opportunities for renovation along with agricultural use or potential diversification through residential conversion of existing structures or new builds, this property stands out as an attractive proposition for investors or those wishing to create their own rural retreat. It's ideally situated within reach of both urban amenities and scenic landscapes—an excellent blend suited for varied pursuits.
