Description

Blackacre Farm is a substantial six-bedroom former farmstead in a conservation area, comprising buildings dating from the 17th century and remodelled in the late 1980s. The main house offers a double-height entrance hall with a galleried landing, a triple-aspect drawing room with fireplace and French doors to the terrace, plus sitting and dining rooms and a conservatory. The kitchen has Smallbone cabinetry and is served by a utility room and cloakroom. Four bedrooms are arranged on the first floor, including a principal suite and a guest bedroom with en suite facilities, alongside a family bathroom. Two further bedrooms and additional bathroom accommodation occupy the second floor. A separate annexe provides an open-plan kitchen and living area, a double bedroom and a shower room. Outside, a gravel drive leads to extensive parking and turning space. The grounds include lawns, an orchard, herb garden, stone walls, a loggia and a terrace. A former outdoor pool and pool building are noted as offering scope for improvement. Ancillary buildings include carports, a workshop, a former milking parlour and loft space, as well as a substantial aircraft hangar. Any future adaptation of buildings would be subject to the necessary consents. The property is in an elevated rural position near Holt, with Bradford on Avon around two miles away and Bath around ten miles away. The listing also notes nearby village amenities, schools, road links and rail services from Bath Spa and Chippenham.

81out of 100
Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

Blackacre Farm is a substantial, characterful rural home with an unusually broad canvas: a converted 17th-century farmstead, self-contained annexe, extensive grounds and a substantial aircraft hangar. The asking price of £1.85m works out at £207 per sq ft, around 29% below the local average—a strong acquisition opportunity for a buyer looking to refresh the dated kitchen and reception finishes and make more of the former pool and grounds. The photographed rooms appear usable, and the visible stone elevations and roof coverings look broadly intact.

The hangar and other ancillary buildings add distinctive scope for storage, hobbies or business use, with any adaptation subject to feasibility and the necessary consents. The project is light in the main house, while the size and range of outbuildings make this a property where careful planning can unlock its particular appeal.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated kitchen and reception finishes while retaining the house’s character and usable accommodation.
  • Improve the former pool area and grounds, which include lawns, orchard, herb garden and a terrace.
  • Make use of the substantial aircraft hangar and ancillary buildings for storage, hobbies or business purposes, subject to feasibility and any required consents.
