Description

This chain-free Grade II listed farmhouse near Buntingford combines period features with updated living spaces. The listing describes approximately 3,214 sq ft of accommodation, five bedrooms in the main house and a detached annexe arranged as three rooms. The structured listing data records six bedrooms, so the bedroom count should be confirmed with the agent. The property is set within approximately an acre and includes a gravel driveway with parking, landscaped gardens and a sheltered terrace. The ground floor includes a boot room with a sink, laundry facilities and a wood-burning stove, a kitchen and informal dining area with an island and electric AGA, and a large reception room with sitting and dining areas. Period details include exposed timbers, brickwork, wide floorboards and an inglenook fireplace. A cellar provides additional storage. Upstairs are the bedrooms, a family bathroom and en-suite facilities. The principal bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and exposed brickwork. The detached annexe has a kitchen area, wood-burning stove and shower room, and is currently used for offices and storage. The listing notes that it would benefit from some updating. Its future use as a studio, guest space or ancillary accommodation is subject to any necessary consents. The description also refers to existing planning permission for an extension to the dining area and an orangery, but the available text is truncated, so the scope and status should be checked. The grounds include raised beds, a wildlife pond, lawned areas, established planting and an outdoor play area.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

84out of 100
Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

A strong opportunity to acquire a distinctive Grade II listed 17th-century farmhouse at £1.1m, around 24% below the local average on a £/sqf basis. The main house is already presented in clean, well-maintained condition, with character features such as exposed timbers, wide floorboards and an inglenook balanced by a substantial kitchen and considered modern finishes. The extensive garden, terrace and detached annexe add to the appeal.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the detached annexe to bring it closer to the standard of the main house and make better use of its separate accommodation.
  • Enjoy or further shape the approximately one-acre grounds, with mature planting, lawn, raised beds and a paved terrace already in place.
  • Explore the stated extension and orangery potential, subject to checking the existing planning permission and its conditions.

Key risks

  • The annexe’s roof covering and external fabric need closer inspection, and the extent of its updating is not clear from the available information.
  • As a Grade II listed property, any proposed changes will need to be considered in light of the building’s listed status.
