Description

A detached stone farmhouse and cottage, converted from former farm buildings and linked by a garage and utility room, provide predominantly single-storey accommodation with four bedrooms. The property has been used as a family and holiday home since the early 1980s and offers scope for further development, subject to the necessary consents. It is set within a private garden site of approximately 0.4 acres, with elevated views towards the coast, Low Newton and Dunstanburgh Castle. There is no upward chain. The farmhouse includes a hallway, dining room with a stone inglenook fireplace and stairs to a first-floor bedroom or study, a separate sitting room, study/store, family bathroom, galley kitchen, ground-floor double bedroom with en-suite, garden room and utility room. The cottage has its own external entrance, a large bedroom or sitting room, two further bedrooms and a bathroom. The accommodation is connected through the garage and utility area. Outside, a private driveway and timber gate lead to a gravel parking area and integral double garage. The gardens include lawns, a stone terrace and mature planting, with a stone wall along the western boundary. Mains electricity, water and drainage are stated, with oil-fired central heating. Embleton village amenities include local shops, pubs, a school and village facilities, with the golf course and coastal beaches nearby.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

56out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a distinctive coastal project: two traditional stone dwellings linked to form a generous home, with panoramic views towards Dunstanburgh Castle and Low Newton, a garden of about 0.4 acres and ample parking. The stone exterior and visible roof coverings look broadly intact in the photos, while older finishes, carpets and fittings offer scope for a light cosmetic refresh. The inglenook fireplace, glazed garden room and two kitchen areas give the interior plenty of character and flexibility to work with.

At £575,000, the asking price is broadly in line with the local average at £258 per sq ft, so the price looks reasonable rather than a clear bargain. The overall D grade reflects the limited headroom in the current-value economics, despite strong fundamentals and low assessed risk. The rear courtyard planting could also be brought back into line with the maintained lawn and terrace; the listing mentions further development potential, subject to planning, but feasibility is not established.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh older carpets, decorative finishes and fittings while retaining the traditional character and inglenook fireplace.
  • Make better use of the two linked dwellings and their flexible living spaces, including the glazed garden room.
  • Improve the rear courtyard planting to complement the lawn, gravel paths and terrace.
