Description

Broad Oak Farmhouse occupies a rural position on a country lane and is approached via a gated entrance with tall metal gates opening onto a circular drive. The drive leads to the front of the farmhouse which has an attractive symmetrical front façade. It is a substantial and well-built property constructed of brick with UPVC double glazed windows beneath a slate roof with detailing under the eaves.

Originally the farmhouse served a working farm but it is now owned independently of the farm buildings which stand in the courtyard to the rear with the benefit of planning permission for residential development.

The farmhouse is unoccupied and now lends itself to a scheme of modernisation and improvement but offers purchasers the opportunity to create a comfortable family home in a private garden overlooking open countryside. All the rooms are well-proportioned with high ceilings and the majority of them benefit from a double aspect making for extremely light and airy accommodation. As presently configured, there are three reception rooms and four double bedrooms albeit with scope to sub-divide them should the need arise to create additional bedrooms. In addition to the main house there is a two-storey barn to the rear which has been a garage/workshop and above which there is a former home office accessed via external granary steps. This building lends itself to a variety of uses subject to the availability of planning permission and is capable of being incorporated within the farmhouse or alternatively as a self-contained annexe.
