Description

Hackthorne Farm, a historic property dating back to 1826, offers a unique opportunity for both renovation and investment. This character-filled farmhouse has been lovingly maintained by the same family for nearly a century, showcasing traditional materials like local stone and brick that resonate with its rural setting. The two-storey layout includes six bedrooms, ideal for accommodating a large family or guests, along with a snug sitting room featuring an inviting fireplace perfect for winter evenings. The dining room facilitates gatherings, while the functional kitchen serves as the heart of the home, ripe for modern upgrades if desired. A notable addition is the conservatory, providing ample natural light and views of the landscaped garden—an ideal space for relaxation. The practical aspect of this home is further enhanced by amenities such as a shower room, utility room, study, and various storage areas designed for contemporary living. The property presents significant income potential through three existing holiday cottages that can be marketed to those seeking rural escapes. Recent Class Q planning permissions have been granted to convert the charming Old Piggery into a two-bedroom dwelling. This conversion plan includes open-plan living spaces and a mezzanine floor, further enhancing rental prospects. Additional outbuildings include a garage and versatile steel-framed barn equipped with leisure facilities like a snooker room and games room—perfect for family enjoyment or future commercial endeavors. The fertile grounds extend over approximately 15 acres, ideal for agricultural pursuits such as sheep grazing or small-scale farming, potentially supporting agribusiness opportunities. Hackthorne Farm is not just about the house; it's about embracing a lifestyle rich in community engagement and outdoor activities. With good access to road networks aiding both agricultural operations and holiday rentals management, the investment possibilities here are vast. Whether you envision it as a multi-generational residence or an entrepreneurial venture in rural tourism or agriculture, Hackthorne Farm represents an opportunity steeped in history with potential for future growth.
