DESCRIPTION

Extending, in all, to approximately 11.93 acres.

Lot 1
Woodlands Farmhouse was built over a number of years by the previous owner and offers well presented accommodation arranged over 2 floors. Whilst mainly complete, there are still areas that require some work. The very spacious accommodation includes a large entrance hall, large sitting room, a family room, kitchen/breakfast room, boot room, utility room, 2 cloakrooms. There is a bedroom with ensuite bathroom on the ground floor and, on the first floor, there is a large landing and 2 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms with a further bedroom and a family bathroom. There is an integral double garage with 2 garage doors and a stair leading to a first floor storage room.

A separate gate leads off Shaws Lane into an area where there two agricultural buildings, one is an Atcost barn with brick and breeze block elevations and a corrugated tin roof. The other is built with brick pillars, with part brick walls and part corrugated panels, with a steel roof span and a corrugated tin roof. Adjacent to this are a pair of redundant interlocking portacabins, which we understand have previously been used as residential accommodation (without consent).

The house is approached over a tarmac entrance drive, with ample parking for a number of cars. The house sits well within the garden and has a pleasant outlook over the land. In all about 1.5 acres.

Lot 2
Beyond this is a field with a small area of woodland. In all extending to about 10.43 acres

AGRICULTURAL OCCUPANCY RESTRICTION
