Description
This five-bedroom farmhouse offers substantial accommodation and is being sold as a renovation project. The property sits in a rural setting with open views over surrounding farmland and includes a wide entrance and parking area. The listing describes two paddocks of approximately one acre in total, along with two steel-framed barns.
A large stone barn beside the farmhouse has planning consent for conversion to a four-bedroom detached home, according to the listing. Further use of the steel-framed barns would be subject to the necessary permissions. The property is freehold, has oil-fired central heating and private drainage, and is rated EPC F. A public footpath runs along the driveway and behind the stone barn, and a neighbouring property shares part of the driveway access.

Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
Hollands Farmhouse has real character and room to shape: exposed beams and fireplaces, a substantial five-bedroom footprint, open farmland views and two paddocks give this medium-scale project a distinctive rural canvas. The photographed interiors are dated across several spaces, with worn flooring and visible wall marks, so there is scope for a coordinated refresh; the stone barn’s stated conversion consent is an additional attraction, subject to checking its details and conditions.
The price is the main constraint. At £795,000, the asking price is above the local £/sqf average, and the purchase price plus a mid-to-substantial works programme leaves the overall cost stretched against local benchmarks for this floor area—not a forecast of post-renovation value. The farmhouse and grounds still offer plenty to work with, but the numbers call for careful scrutiny. The listing is a private treaty sale.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated interiors, including the photographed kitchen and bathroom, and update worn flooring and decoration across several spaces.
- Retain and bring out the farmhouse’s character features, including exposed beams and fireplaces, within its generous five-bedroom layout.
- Explore the stone barn conversion using the stated planning consent, verifying the consent details and conditions first.
Key risks
- The asking price combined with a mid-to-substantial works programme leaves the overall cost stretched against local benchmarks for this floor area.
- A public footpath runs along the driveway and to the rear of the stone barn, and a neighbouring property shares part of the driveway access.
- Purchase plus the works band looks tight when the asking price sits alongside the indicated works scale — around 14% above what similar-sized stock commands locally today; post-works value sits outside our data.
