Description - Spanish Hill Farm is an attractive, detached period farmhouse that has been modernised in recent years. The property features a range of both modern and traditional farm buildings, offering significant redevelopment potential (subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents) and is set within gardens and grounds extending to approximately 2.5 acres. The farm presents a variety of opportunities, making it ideal for use as a smallholding or for equestrian purposes, subject to planning approval.
Accommodation - The accommodation has been modernised and is arranged over two floors. At the front of the property, a porch spans across the house, leading to a reception hall featuring a beamed ceiling, exposed tiled flooring, and stairs to the first floor. From here, there is access to a sitting room which boasts an inglenook fireplace with a woodburning stove, exposed brickwork, and a double-glazed window. A separate dining room benefits from a part-vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, a rear door, and a window to the side. The kitchen is well-fitted with shaker style wall and base units, offering ample work surfaces on three sides, a Rangemaster Classic cooker, and a Velux window.
Upstairs, the first floor comprises three generously sized bedrooms and a newly installed shower room.
Outside - The property is surrounded by mature gardens, featuring lawned areas, an outbuilding with a store, and an external WC. There is a private parking area, along with a traditional stone, brick and tile outbuilding used as garaging with a concrete floor, complete with a loft space and a potting shed. Adjacent to the lawned garden is a barn with electricity, providing access from both the garden and yard.
In addition, the property includes a modest collection of traditional and modern farm buildings, set within approximately two acres of agricultural land. These buildings include a detached, single-storey former cow stall with ten spaces and a dairy. There are four small buildings arranged in a block, consisting of an open-ended timber lean-to barn with two stables, a steel-framed former hay barn with a stone floor, a concrete mono-pitched livestock shed with a raised manger and stone flooring, and a small adjoining loose box with a dirt floor. A concrete yard sits between the farm buildings and the old cow stall, providing gated access to a paddock to the south and a former cider orchard to the north. The entire property is set within approximately 2.5 acres.
