Property description

ACCOMMODATION
This fantastic set up offers huge development potential (subject to planning permission and building regulation approval) and includes a charming two bedroom barn conversion which was formerly the Dairy Barn, which retains its characterful features. The freehold property is light and bright and comprises two bedrooms both with en-suites, utility room, kitchen/breakfast room, snug, living room and cloakroom. Patio doors from the living room open out onto a lovely enclosed garden which provides just the spot for relaxing in the sunshine. An extensive collection of farm buildings, barns, livestock sheds, machinery stores, general stores and enclosed livestock yards are accessible via the central yard which have been carefully and thoughtfully positioned with handling livestock and general farm duties in mind. A large Stone Barn which is currently used as workshops and office space presents a wonderful opportunity for a possible conversion (subject to planning permission and building regulation approval). The agricultural pasture land extends to circa 73.08 Acres and surrounds the farm buildings on three sides. The land is mainly grass with a hard core track running through the farm to allow access to the fields all year round. The sale of the farm includes fishing rights along the bank of the River Axe and a further 42.54 acres of land to the South of the River Axe is available to be purchased by separate negotiation if required. Opportunities like this do not come to the market very often – viewing is highly recommended! EPC Rating C70, Council Tax Band D, Business Rates may apply.
