Description

Nestled at a strategic country crossroads, this historic property combines the charm of an early Victorian farmstead with significant renovation and investment opportunities. Originally constructed nearly 200 years ago, the extensive E-shaped design features a main farmhouse along with various outbuildings that have embraced modern adaptations over time, including a former educational institution. The central farmhouse offers substantial living space with nine bedrooms, ideal for those looking to renovate a large family home or create a multi-generational living environment. The ground floor comprises an inviting hall with decorative quarry tiles that leads to spacious reception areas, each adorned with period details such as intricate cornicing and fireplaces. A well-equipped kitchen features oak countertops and views overlooking the garden and countryside, while the dining area boasts expansive windows ensuring plenty of natural light. Upstairs, the layout includes multiple bedrooms, some of which retain charming period features like fireplaces and box bay windows. While some bathrooms do require attention due to previous adaptations for educational use, the overall structure presents a solid framework for modernization. Surrounding the farmhouse are gardens filled with mature trees and space for ample parking. An organic fruit and vegetable garden enclosed by Victorian walls adds both beauty and functionality to the outdoor area. The property enjoys private road access from Witchampton Lane, enhancing its appeal for potential buyers. Included within this offering is an array of surrounding buildings previously utilized as classrooms, storage facilities, and retail spaces. These brick and slate farm buildings could be transformed into several residential units or holiday cottages subject to planning approval, capitalizing on their advantageous location and existing structures. Notably, conversions could yield significant gross development values estimated upwards of £3 million. Additional elements include a series of grain stores currently leased, producing steady rental income with potential for future redevelopment into detached residences or semi-detached houses. With separate access points from both B3078 and Witchampton Lane alongside ample parking provisions, this area offers functional versatility catering to diverse investment strategies. Together, these features underscore not only the historical significance but also the vast potential of this property for those inclined toward renovation or investment in a promising locale.
