The Farmhouse
The property is accessed from a short section of unnamed public highway which connects directly to Wainfield Lane and Bank Road at the junction to the south.

Accessed off the eastern side of the lane is the primary compartment with entrance gates opening into the garage, yard area and parking for Chapel Farmhouse. Chapel Farmhouse is a traditional farmhouse with rendered elevations under a pitched concrete tile roof. The property has been extended in the past with a modest single brick utility to the rear of the property.

The front door opens directly into an extensive sitting room with dual aspect windows to the front and rear, carpeted floor and feature fireplace with wood burning stove.

An internal corridor which features the stairs links the sitting room to the kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with base and wall timber units with a wooden worktop, metal sink and laminate floor with window to the front. The connections for the AGA oven are installed but the AGA has been disconnected and will need replacing.

To the rear of the kitchen, within the single brick extension is a second reception room with corner stove, dual aspect windows to the side and rear and external rear door. Off the side is a utility and storage room with window to the side. Externally, attached to the rear is a cloakroom with wc, and storage.

Stairs lead up to the landing providing access to three double bedrooms, all with boarded floors and windows to the front, a family bathroom fitted with bath with overhead shower, wash basin and a wc.

The property benefits from mains water and electricity with the wood burner and disconnected AGA providing the heating for the water with radiators throughout the property. Foul drainage is to a septic tank.

Externally the garden curtilage wraps round the farmhouse and is predominantly lawned garden with mature hedges and trees. There is a useful tin sheeted shed within the garden. The garden backs onto an orchard and the remainder of Lot 1.

The farmhouse is in need of full modernization and refurbishment. However, the size and layout offers a prime dwelling in a fantastic location offering an exciting project for any purchaser.

Outbuildings
Positioned within Lot 1 and attached to the garage, within the yard area is a traditional stone stable building. Adjacent to this is the first of the agricultural buildings which is a two bay Dutch barn with two bay lean-to with block, Yorkshire boarded and tin sheeted elevations under tin sheeted roof with concrete floor.

On the opposite side of the lane within Lot 2 is an excellent fully enclosed three bay concrete portal framed building with timber space board cladding under a fibre cement roof with part concrete floor. The building features galvanised doors to the front with a rear block built extension. Internally the building benefits from a small workshop and a useful hay/storage loft above. Lot 2 also benefits from a two bay general purpose stone building positioned close to the southern boundary.

Positioned within Lot 3 is a stone built shelter with red clay tile roof.

All the outbuildings are in reasonable condition and could be used for a range of possible uses, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission.
