Fishpond Hill Farm, Brick Kiln Lane, Mansfield

Fishpond Hill Farm is an individually designed, substantial, split level, four bedroom detached house in need of renovation and refurbishment throughout, set in 1.6 acres or thereabouts in a delightful south facing position.

A rather interesting opportunity has arisen to purchase this unique and substantial, split level, four bedroom detached house, set in 1.6 acres or thereabouts with a large lake.

Fishpond Hill Farm was individually designed and built in the 1980s from cavity brick/blockwork beneath a pitched roof with coverings of concrete interlocking tile. The house and land sale area are shown edged in red on the attached plan within these particulars.

The property requires renovation and refurbishment throughout and offers prospective purchasers a superb opportunity to create a truly stunning, individual home. The gross internal floor area extends to approximately 2,827 sq ft (plus integral double garage) with living accommodation spanning over three floors.

The main entrance door opens to an initial entrance hall area with access to the garage. Stairs lead up to the main hallway which leads to a family bathroom, a large billiard/games room, a conservatory with 6.5m vaulted ceiling, plus further vaulted greenhouse/conservatory and bedrooms three and four each with their own separate study/dressing room area with direct access to the conservatory. Stairs lead up to an initial landing with access to a master bedroom suite with fitted wardrobes, a separate walk-in wardrobe and an en suite. A sliding patio door opens to a balcony area with steps leading down to the greenhouse/conservatory. Stairs up to the main landing leads to bedroom two, a large lounge and another conservatory with wonderful south facing rear views over the rear garden and lake beyond. Completing the accommodation is a kitchen/diner, utility, side entrance lobby and a WC. The property has majority hardwood double glazed windows, solar panels (owned by the property) and electric ducted warm air central heating.

Outside - Fishpond Hill Farm occupies a fantastic and elevated position from the adjacent dwellings to the eastern boundary, hidden from the road and is accessed from Brick Kiln Lane by means of a long, private driveway which leads to a turning area outside the house. There is off road parking for numerous vehicles with turning space and an integral double garage with an electric up and over door. Steps to the front of the property leads up to the other side of the house at its highest point with pathway leading round to the rear of the property where there are two patios on different levels enjoying lovely south facing rear views over the garden and lake beyond. The gardens are also in need of an overhaul, centred around a large lake, currently laid to extensive grass to the front, side and rear with extensive, mature shrubs and trees surrounding the lake and to the eastern boundary.

Adjacent New Development - Please note, the land adjacent to the property to the western and northern boundaries has planning permission approved by Mansfield District Council under planning reference number 2024/0642/VCON for 183 homes of mixed property types for both affordable and private sale. For reference, please refer to the plan within these particulars. We understand that the developer, Keepmoat Homes, will be erecting a boundary fence to the western and northern boundaries to separate Fishpond Hill Farm from the development. The height of the boundary and the material to be used has not been decided and is still in the planning stage to be confirmed in due course.
