Description
Ford Mill Farm is arranged over approximately 8.75 acres of level land that incorporates the main Farmhouse, 2 adjoining Holiday Lets, a range of Outbuildings, meadows, paddocks and a lake.
This property will suit anyone who either wants to live a good and quiet life in privacy in their own kingdom or those who may want to make use of the grounds for equestrian purposes or, perhaps, to start a venture such as a fishery or a glamping business.
The 2 holiday lets are active and currently generate a yearly income of approximately £45,000. The main Farmhouse is beautifully presented throughout and expertly blends the characters and features of an older building with modern flourishes such as can be seen in the vaulted main Bedroom which has an En-suite and access to a Balcony.
The grounds are ideally altogether in one piece and the south-facing gardens can be viewed from the Farmhouse. There are lovely level lawns, fields and paddocks to wander at your leisure and a beautiful lake to sit beside. There is plenty of room to park all manner of vehicles at the site and the Outbuildings include a Stable, a Double Garage and Store and a partially finished 40' x 40' Barn.
To get an instant feeling of what this property offers, we would highly recommend viewing the accompanying virtual tour we have created for this exceptional residence. We invite questions and viewings and hope to meet you at the property.
