Description

This Grade II listed former farmhouse presents a remarkable opportunity for renovation, offering approximately 3,200 sq. ft. of internal space and set within a generous plot of around 0.46 acres. With the potential for up to five double bedrooms and four reception areas, this property retains much of its original character, featuring deep skirtings, period fireplaces, exposed beams, and high ceilings. However, it requires complete modernisation and renovation, making it ideal for buyers seeking a unique family home tailored to their specifications. The layout includes four main reception rooms, a proposed kitchen area with windows on three sides, and a cloakroom/utility space. The upstairs features spacious bedrooms, several with ensuite facilities, and an additional area in the eaves that could provide further accommodation. The property is currently non-habitable due to the absence of kitchens and bathrooms, suggesting it is best suited for cash buyers. Located in the village of Langar, this home is surrounded by picturesque countryside and offers access to local amenities, including a primary school, pub/restaurant, and the highly regarded Langar Hall hotel. With its excellent community and proximity to the market town of Bingham, this property holds significant potential for those looking to create a fantastic family residence.

Confidence: MEDIUM

This Grade II listed former farmhouse presents a remarkable opportunity for those looking to create a unique family home. At an asking price of £575,000, the property is attractively priced at £180/sq.ft., significantly below the local average of £300/sq.ft., offering an exceptional value proposition for savvy buyers. The house boasts a generous 3,200 sq.ft. of internal space with the potential for up to five double bedrooms and several reception areas, making it ideal for a large family or for entertaining guests.

However, the property is in poor condition throughout, requiring extensive renovation to make it habitable. There is significant wear and damage observed, including peeling plaster and damaged flooring in the living areas, neglect in the bedrooms, and an overgrown garden. The exterior also shows visible deterioration. This is a heavy project that will demand a renovation budget in the range of £150,000 to £300,000. With its original character features intact, including period fireplaces and exposed beams, the home offers a blank canvas for someone with vision to restore it to its former glory. Although the scale of the renovation is considerable, the potential for creating a fantastic family home in a desirable village location makes this an intriguing investment opportunity.

Key opportunities

  • Substantial internal space allows for creative reconfiguration and design to suit personal tastes.
  • Retains original character features such as deep skirtings, period fireplaces, and exposed beams, ideal for restoration.
  • Generous plot size of 0.46 acres offers potential for landscaping and outdoor living enhancements.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £150,000–£300,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
