Guide Price £875,000

Dunfords Farm is a Grade II listed home that was converted from the traditional stable building that would have once been part of Dunfords Farmhouse. The accommodation, whilst in need of a little updating in places, is light and spacious with the potential to extend into the adjoining barns, subject of course to gaining any of the necessary consents.

The front door opens into the entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor and doors opening to the reception rooms and kitchen. The kitchen is a large space with an excellent range of both wall and base units, built in oven and hob and plenty of space for a table. Beyond the kitchen is a useful utility space, downstairs shower room and rear porch. There are two reception rooms; the first with a fireplace that is currently fitted with a gas fire and then double doors opening into the second reception. This room is lovely and light with double sliding doors opening onto the conservatory.

Upstairs there are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside

Adjoining the house and accessed through the rear porch is a single storey traditional barn that is currently used as a garage, workshop area and storage. This space could, subject to the relevant consents, be incorporated into the main accommodation if required or could provide an annexe.

To the front of the house is an open area which provides ample parking for several vehicles with further space to the rear of the property.

There is a small area of lawn to the rear and then a productive vegetable patch to the front.

Outbuildings

Immediately adjoining the house to one side is a traditional stone built single storey barn which is divided into two areas, both with doors opening into the collecting yard to the front. To the side of the yard is a further traditional barn which comprises three boxes and again opens onto the collecting yard. Subject to gaining the necessary consents these barns offer a great deal of scope to be converted into perhaps holiday lets, accommodation for relatives, studios or workspaces or simply used for livestock as part of the farm.

Beyond the traditional buildings there is a further useful concrete yard area with muck ramp, gates leading directly to the fields and a more modern steel framed agricultural building with wooden sleeper walls and a concrete flooring, measuring approximately 25m x 14m.

The Land

The land lies to the rear of the house and buildings and is arranged in two level enclosures, each bounded by mature hedges and recently installed stock fencing. Edford Wood runs along the northern boundary and provides excellent natural shelter. There are two direct road access points into the land from Green Lane which runs to the south.

Lot B

Approximately 19.72 acres of land

As coloured blue on the sale plan

Guide Price £200,000 to £250,000

The land is arranged into two parcels, enclosed, and divided by a combination of mature hedges and stock fencing. There is gated road access at three points. The land is predominantly level in aspect sloping very gently towards the southern boundary.
