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

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a substantial rural farmhouse project with a distinctive canvas: period fireplaces, beams and exposed stonework, plus a range of farm buildings, concrete yards and around 31.8 acres of grassland and woodland. The photographed interiors are markedly worn, with an old Rayburn kitchen, a distinctive pink bathroom suite, tired finishes and damaged flooring; the £35,000–£65,000 works range gives a scale for updating them while bringing out the house’s character.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the worn interiors around the farmhouse’s fireplaces, beams and exposed stonework, with scope to update the old Rayburn kitchen and pink bathroom suite.
  • The 31.8 acres of grassland and woodland, together with the farmyard and varied outbuildings, give this property a distinctive rural setting and a range of potential uses to investigate.

Key risks

  • The £35,000–£65,000 works range covers a substantial programme across worn interiors, flooring and dated fittings, rather than a cosmetic refresh.
  • The older outbuilding is weathered, and the condition of the wider building range is uncertain.
