There is a spacious double garage with electric up and over doors linking into a substantial agricultural store, currently used to house machinery & equipment.

Farm Buildings & Yard

There is a separate hardcore access leading from the main highway down to the farm buildings. A 4-bay Steel portal Farmed barn with a 20’ lean-to with earthen floor is used for storage, being clad in corrugated sheeting and blockwork walls. A generous concrete apron lies in front of the second Steel Portal Farmed barn, 80’ X 60’ which has a concrete floor and is arranged with potential to be converted for alternative uses (subject to planning), such as livestock housing, equestrian use or general storage.

Services

The Farmhouse and annexe are connected to mains water and electricity. There is oil central heating, and drainage is to a private septic tank. The land is also served by mains water connections.

Land

The land, which is well fenced with timber post and rail & thick stockproof hedging, extends to approximately 21.22 acres (8.59 ha). The land is mainly level, free draining and could outwinter horses and livestock without damage to the grass sward. The condition of the grassland is excellent and has been managed to a high standard. There are two water troughs, served by a metered mains water supply.

Planning

The land sits outside the settlement boundary and is therefore designated as open countryside, situated within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Planning permission has been granted for redevelopment of the farmhouse into a substantial and stylish modern country house (see planning reference P22/03508/F)
