Description
An Agricultural Occupancy Condition (AOC) restricts who can live in a property to those employed in agriculture or forestry. The eligibility criteria typically include:
Current or Former Agricultural Worker – The occupant must be:
Currently employed in agriculture or forestry (full-time or substantially full-time).
Retired but formerly employed in agriculture or forestry.
A dependent or widow(er) of someone who met these conditions.
Definition of Agriculture – Work must fall under the legal definition of agriculture, which includes:
Farming, horticulture, livestock breeding, and forestry.
Use of land for dairy farming, fruit growing, or market gardening.
Local Authority Interpretation – The specific wording of the AOC varies, and local councils interpret it differently. Some may allow individuals working in related rural industries (e.g., equestrian businesses) to qualify.
Proving Eligibility – Buyers must provide evidence, such as:
Employment contracts, payslips, or tax records.
Business ownership documents if self-employed.
A letter from an employer confirming agricultural work.
If someone does not meet these conditions, they cannot legally reside in the property unless the restriction is removed or varied, which usually requires planning permission.
On the ground floor, the accommodation comprises a through living/dining room that opens into a spacious conservatory. The kitchen is located next to a store room and a utility room with a cloakroom. Additionally, there is a ground-floor bedroom.
Upstairs, the first floor features two generously sized bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate WC. The layout offers ample potential for redesign or expansion, subject to the necessary permissions.
Externally, the property is approached via a farm track leading to a gated entrance and a garage which is in disrepair. The surrounding gardens, currently overgrown, wrap around the house, providing privacy and the opportunity to create a beautiful outdoor space.
The property was previously served by an oil-fired heating system and private drainage, both of which now require attention.
