Description
The Property - Park Farmhouse is a charming and substantial detached period house with an extensive range of outbuildings and large gardens. The accommodation is extremely versatile and would work well as a family home or someone wishing to continue running a very profitable holiday let .
As the name implies, it was formerly a farmhouse and dates back to the 18th century and is listed grade 2 of architectural or historic importance. The house has main walls of solid stone, the front roof is thatched and the rear under slate.
There are a host of character features typical of its age and type, including exposed beams, fireplaces, pine stripped doors, sash windows, exposed colour-washed stone and wood panelling. The Creamery features flagstone flooring.
Under the current ownership since 2014, the property has benefitted from a whole number of improvements, including rethatching in 2019, rewiring, new boilers and Megaflow hot water systems.
The property comprises the main house and a detached former stone Creamy converted to provide additional ensuite facilities.
See floorplan for accommodation layout.
Outside - Park Farmhouse is set back from the road and there is a front garden behind stone walls and hedges. A side lane – shared by two neighbouring properties – leads to a large rear gravelled parking area.
The large rear garden is walled and comprises an adjoining lower courtyard with large store and steps up to the main garden, with timber decking, lawn, flower and shrub borders. Adjoining the pool is a paved terrace.
Detached indoor heated swimming pool with cloakroom, changing room and boiler room, adjoining playroom/workshop. Potential for conversion for additional accommodation, or possibly a separate dwelling/building plot, subject to the usual planning consents, any restrictions and access rights.
Holiday Letting Business - A long-established and very successful holiday letting business has been operated and the letting agency is cottages.com. The property sleeps 18 and is successfully let all year with weekly and short breaks. A very impressive high net revenue is being generated.
The property would be available to be sold as a going concern with fixtures and fittings by separate negotiation.
Situation - Park Farmhouse is located in the heart of this popular picturesque village, the centre is primarily made up of thatched cottages of the type for which the area is well known. There are excellent local amenities including a Post Office/shop, public houses, parish church and village hall.
The immediate locality is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and a nearby footpath leads to the village green, playground and beach at Seatown.
