Description

Birdwood House Farm presents a unique opportunity to acquire a Grade II listed farmhouse set in approximately 37.39 acres of land, accompanied by a variety of outbuildings. This period property, believed to date back to the late 18th century, showcases classic architectural features with its attractive brick elevations and stone detailing. The farmhouse requires modernisation, making it an ideal project for those looking to restore a historic home while enjoying extensive grounds. The accommodation spans three floors plus a cellar, offering around 3,476 square feet of living space. The ground floor features a reception hall, two reception rooms, a kitchen, utility room, larder, and a wc/shower room. The upper floors include three good-sized bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor, while the top floor houses three additional bedrooms and an attic store. There is significant potential for reconfiguration, subject to planning and listed building consent. The farm buildings, located off yards to the east and north of the house, consist of traditional structures forming an appealing courtyard, including a barn, stable, and a former granary, all of which have separate Grade II listings. These buildings offer excellent conversion potential, alongside additional steel-framed structures and stables. The property is approached via a long drive lined with lawned gardens at the front. Situated in a rural setting with privacy, Birdwood House Farm is conveniently located near the A40, providing easy access to Gloucester and Ross-on-Wye. The property is connected to mains water and electricity and features oil-fired central heating with a private drainage system. It is sold as seen, with no warranties provided for services or appliances. This farmhouse offers an exciting venture for those looking to invest in a historic property with substantial land and development potential.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

Birdwood House Farm is a handsome Grade II listed farmhouse set within approximately 37.39 acres, presenting a unique opportunity for those looking to undertake a light refurbishment project. Priced at £1,250,000, the asking price of £360/sqf is slightly above the local average of £342/sqf, indicating limited value in terms of current market conditions. However, the property’s extensive grounds and outbuildings provide ample scope for enhancement, especially with the potential for reconfiguration of the upper floors, subject to planning and listed building consent.

While the interior shows signs of needing modernisation, these dated elements can be transformed into something special. The classic proportions and architectural features of the farmhouse are attractive, and the grounds offer a picturesque setting with lovely views. With a little vision and investment, Birdwood House Farm could become a stunning residence that capitalises on its unique character and substantial land.

Key opportunities
