THE PROPERTY
Hanningfields Farm is a Grade II Listed timber-framed house with original parts dating from the 16th or 17th Centuries, and a newer brick facade which is likely to have been added in the 18th or 19th Centuries.

As the floorplan illustrates, the house provides over 3900 square feet of living space arranged predominantly on two levels, with the accommodation currently divided into a main house and an adjoining annexe. Whilst parts of the property require updating, it has been well looked after and offers a great deal of potential.

Period features to note include a six-panel door with a Tuscan portico, exposed beams and studwork, sash windows, an exposed red-brick wall in the hall, a bay window in the dining room and three red-brick chimneys.

FORMAL GROUNDS
The grounds total 12.28 acres and are a mix of formal garden, meadow land and woodland.

The house is hidden from the road by a copse and is approached via a private access road which leads to a circular front drive.

A large pond at the front frames the house nicely, and the formal gardens located on its other elevations are sympathetically landscaped; they feature immaculate hedges, a private patio, several lawns and a number of outhouses and sheds. Despite having a neighbour to the west, the house has unspoilt vistas over its own grounds in other directions, and enjoys privacy and an impressive outlook, thanks to dozens of well-established trees.

OUTBUILDINGS AND LAND
A complex of agricultural barns and lean-to’s is found around 25 metres from the house. These include an Atcost Barn, a Howell barn and a clay lump barn. There is also a series of stables.

A former poultry shed positioned around 90 metres from the house enjoys an easterly outlook and has privacy from the other farm buildings, thanks to being located beyond a (half-acre) wood. We expect this building could be converted into either a separate residential dwelling(s) or an annexe(s) (stp) based on a successful Class Q Permitted Development application. Please ask for details.
