An additional arable field of around 36 acres nearby is available for sale by separate negotiation.

Situated at the end of a private driveway, the property lies centrally within the land and enjoys views over the surrounding countryside. Lodge Farm is a desirable arable farm with potential for a wide range of development and uses such as conversion of the buildings to homes, holiday accommodation,
mixed commercial uses and public facing enterprises such as pick your own or visitor attractions subject to the necessary consents.

Lodge Farm is a residential farm including a period farmhouse, yard equipped with a range of buildings and productive arable land.

The three fields of arable land extend to approximately 94.05 acres. With soils belonging to the Worcester association, the land is classified as Grade 3 (Provisional Agricultural Land Classification) and has been farmed as part of a combinable cropping rotation.

Worcester soils are characterised by slowly permeable, noncalcareous and calcareous reddish clayey soils over mudstone. The soils are also associated with similar, non-calcareous fine loamy over clayey soils.

A nearby arable field of around 36 acres is also available by separate negotiation. Further details are available from the Seller's Agent.

Lodge Farmhouse provides approximately 2,679 square feet of living accommodation arranged across three floors. The ground floor offers a farmhouse kitchen, utility room, cloakroom with WC and three reception rooms. Upstairs are four bedrooms and a large family bathroom plus a further two attic bedrooms on the third floor.

The farmhouse will benefit from some refurbishment and modernisation but offers well-proportioned rooms and has the potential to create a lovely family home.

Please note that the property has suffered structural movement and further details are available from the Seller's Agent.

Adjacent to the tree-lined driveway, a generous lawned garden lies to the front of the farmhouse with mature trees and an orchard including apple, plum and damson trees.
