Description

Lower Farm presents a valuable opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors alike, situated just outside the serene village of Harkstead on the picturesque Shotley Peninsula. This characterful property, which dates back to the mid-1800s, is centrally placed within a generous plot of 0.3 acres and is enveloped by well-maintained lawn gardens. The interior boasts high ceilings and spacious rooms typical of its era, featuring a sitting room, dining area, kitchen, and bathroom on the ground floor, with three double bedrooms accessible via a wide staircase on the first floor. However, significant refurbishment is required to restore this handsome period home to its former glory. Additionally, there is an option to acquire an adjacent 1.1-acre field through separate negotiation. The location benefits from local amenities including a popular pub, active community hall, church, and regular farmers market; while larger facilities can be found in nearby Holbrook. For those seeking an idyllic rural lifestyle with easy access to transport links and water sports activities in the surrounding area, this property offers immense potential for investment.
