Description - Lower Knightacott is a large period farmhouse which presents elevations of stone and painted render, beneath a slate roof. Remarkably, the property in not listed despite the many period features still in evidence, including inglenook fireplaces, extensive exposed beams and original flagstone flooring, which sit well with 21st Century refinements. There is an emphasis on leisure with facilities which include an all weather tennis court and an attached squash/basketball court - quite a rarity- which alternatively may also offer potential for conversion to self contained accommodation for relatives or paying guests, subject to planning permission. There are other potential options as the property is being sold with equestrian facilities, including stabling and flexible acreages. The amount of garden and pasture included is 2.6 acres. However, up to a further 10 acres of level pasture (Approximately 8 acres adjoins, 2 acres are across the lane) is possibly available by separate negotiation. The vendor also owns a pair of 2 bedroom stone barn conversions (currently rented out and producing income) with separate residential consent. These are potentially available, by separate negotiation and possibly suitable to be operated , together with the main house, for multi-generational occupation or as investments. A plan showing the additional land lot options is available upon request from the selling agents.
