Set on approximately c.7.87 hectares / c.19.5 acres, this charming country holding comprises a traditional farmhouse residence, extensive farmyard and a substantial parcel of agricultural land, all located within close proximity to one another. Formerly operated as a butcher’s/abattoir premises, the property offers exceptional potential for a range of agricultural, commercial or lifestyle uses.
The holding is divided into two separate parcels. The residence and farmyard occupy approximately c.3 acres, while the remaining c.16.5 acres comprise agricultural lands.
The smaller parcel is compact and triangular in shape, laid out in three neat paddocks with an established yard containing a range of well-maintained stores and outbuildings. These buildings may suit a variety of uses including a farm shop, butcher’s enterprise or associated rural business venture. The yard also benefits from a three-bay round-roof hay shed with double lean-to, concrete apron and cattle handling area.
Fronting onto the public road is a traditional two-storey stone farmhouse with its own separate entrance from the yard, set on mature gardens with excellent road frontage. The residence enjoys a peaceful rural setting while remaining conveniently accessible to surrounding roads and nearby amenities.
Accommodation briefly comprises an inviting entrance hallway, bright living room, spacious dining room with access to the kitchen, at ground floor level. Upstairs, there are three generously proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property also offers significant scope for extension to the rear, subject to the necessary planning permission.
