Description

This substantial detached farmhouse is being offered for sale for the first time in more than 80 years. Set in an elevated rural position, it has five bedrooms, generous reception space and far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. The accommodation is arranged in two interconnected sections, providing flexibility for different living arrangements, and retains period details including stone fireplaces and wood-burning stoves. The property is described as requiring refurbishment and offers scope for improvement throughout. The main house includes a reception room with a stone fireplace and stove, a large kitchen and dining room with fitted units and an oil-fired range, a utility area and a ground-floor bathroom. Upstairs are three bedrooms, with further accommodation in the substantial loft, which includes a shower room and storage. The loft may offer potential for further use or incorporation into the main accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. The second section has its own reception room, kitchen, bedrooms and bathroom. Other ancillary space includes a cellar and the Old Tap House, which has a separate WC and shower and is described as needing renovation. Outside are established gardens, a private driveway with parking for around eight or nine vehicles, and a garage building also requiring renovation. A neighbouring paddock of approximately 0.86 acres is available by separate negotiation. Any alternative use or development of the loft, cellar or ancillary buildings would require the relevant permissions and checks.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

81out of 100
Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £595,000, this substantial five-bedroom farmhouse is priced at £168 per sq ft against a local average of £382, making the asking price a standout opportunity to acquire a large rural home well below the local £/sq ft benchmark. Its elevated setting, far-reaching valley views, established gardens, generous parking and period fireplaces give it plenty of character to build on.

The interior is usable but dated across several areas, so there is scope for a medium-scale refresh of finishes and flooring, with the older kitchens and shower-room fittings offering further choices for improvement. The substantial loft and garage add project potential, subject to condition and any necessary consents; the roof shows patchy weathering, though no major failure is apparent in the available views.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire a substantial farmhouse at a markedly lower £/sq ft than the local average.
  • Refresh dated finishes and flooring while retaining period fireplaces and architectural detailing.
  • Explore the substantial loft and garage as additional project opportunities, subject to condition and any necessary consents.

Key risks

  • Roof coverings show patchy weathering; further inspection would help establish their condition.
