This property will be offered for sale by public auction (subject to prior sale, reserve and conditions) at 6:30pm on Tuesday 20th May 2025 at The View, Hill Farm Marina, Stratford Road, Wootton Wawen, Warwickshire, B95 6DE (///glance.dance.rival).
Introduction - This very impressive Grade II listed Georgian farmhouse has the benefit of both Planning Permission (Ref: 21/00938/FUL) and Listed Building Consent (Ref: 21/00939/LBC) to allow a new owner to renovate and alter the internal accommodation so that, when complete, the property will be a magnificent 5-bedroomed family home, together with the already modernised and very habitable 1-bedroomed annexe, which, of course, could be lived in while the renovation works to the house are in progress. Thereafter, the annexe would then be ideal for relatives, staff or even as a substantial work from home office area. The total site extends to 1.33 acres that includes the long driveway leading down to the front of the house, meaning that it is well screened from the public highway and around the house, on two sides, are open fields that afford glorious countryside views.
Fir Tree Farm House is located in the hamlet of Bascote, which lies to the North-East of Southam and West of Long Itchington. It is centrally located between the larger towns of Leamington Spa (5 miles) and Rugby (13 miles), which both have good transport links to major cities.
