Requiring refurbishment and also offering an excellent opportunity to enlarge, this detached farmhouse is in a rural location just outside a picturesque village, for sale by Public Auction on Wednesday 25th February 2026.
This detached 20th century house is centrally positioned within a square shaped plot of approximately 0.16 acres, alongside New Road and two portal frame barns which are part of the adjacent farm. The house was previously subject to an agricultural restriction, the Land Registry have approved the removal of the restriction and registration is currently pending, details will be included within the legal pack. It is in poor condition, consequently it requires refurbishment and with ground to all four sides, there is room to significantly enlarge the building, subject to any necessary consents.
