Choke Lane, Cookham Dean, Berkshire, SL6

Outstanding mixed-use property in a prime location. Large residential farmhouse, income-producing offices, barns and other ancillary accommodation. In total about 14 acres.

Description

The House: A handsome Victorian farmhouse extended over the generations to provide substantial accommodation over three storeys (plus basement). Providing in total about 6,500 sqft throughout six bedrooms, five bathrooms and four principal reception rooms.

Pool House: Detached yet in a convenient position close to the main house, providing accommodation of about 1,100 sqft through two bedrooms, bathroom, a reception room, kitchen and two ground floor shower/changing rooms.

Stable Block: A two storey building of about 2,000 sqft ideal for a variety of uses, perhaps a stable building, conversion to home office, gym or further residential accommodation/annex.

Car Port: Parking under a pitched roof for five vehicles, in total about 1,400 sqft.

PROPERTY - COMMERCIAL:
Courtyard Barns: A range of Victorian buildings of about 8,200 sqft providing high quality office space let to multiple tenants. Weighted mostly to ground floor accommodation under a pitched roof, with some first floor and mezzanine spaces. Ample car parking provision. Currently producing an income of about £210,000 per annum gross (with further potential of about £30,000 for Rutland Barn).

The Hay and Straw Barns: The Hay Barn and Straw Barn provide a high-roofed detached steel building of about 9,700 sqft combined, providing excellent dry storage and a yard to the front. Market rate income potential for the Hay Barn and Straw Barn (in their current guise) is perhaps £45,000 per annum each.

GROUNDS:
The Gardens: Formal gardens to the residential parts extending to about 8.5 acres, are beautifully landscaped to include a pool, orchard, sweeping driveway and expansive lawns.

Offices and Barns: Grounds and yards around the commercial buildings extend to about 5.5 acres providing ample provision for parking and recreation space. In total the grounds extend to about 14 acres, suitable for a variety of uses including grazing and equestrian. Further land may be available by negotiation.

Equestrian: The property lends itself well for those who might want equestrian facilities, perhaps with a conversion of the Hay and Straw barns into an indoor arena and/or further stabling and stores.

DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS:
These commercial spaces are eminently lettable with a good history of occupancy, though that said the buildings might also be perfect for those who require them for their own occupation. Further development might be possible for conversion into alternative uses; residential, hotel, indoor equestrian school, or other use – subject to obtaining consent.

Planning Consent - The Barns: Extant consent is in place for development of the barns into further office accommodation. Consent provides for a new replacement building of about 18,000 sqft set over two storeys.

LOTTING:
A sale of parts of the Farm may be negotiable in the event that a buyer does not wish to purchase the entire Lot and all parts within it. For example the primary residential parts (the main farmhouse, pool house, stable and car port) may be separable from the commercial elements, as perhaps may the Hay and Straw Barns from the rest of the site. Details can be discussed depending on a purchaser’s requirements.
