Description - An Exceptional Country Estate with Outstanding Redevelopment Potential.

Occupying a magnificent rural setting in the highly sought-after village of Wishaw, Church Farm presents one of the region's most exciting opportunities to acquire a traditional farmhouse together with an extensive collection of period agricultural buildings, stabling and land offering exceptional future potential.

Extending to approximately 4.3 acres (to be confirmed), the property comprises a charming period farmhouse, an impressive range of traditional brick-built barns and agricultural buildings arranged around a generous central courtyard, mature gardens, pastureland and stabling. Rarely do properties combining such an attractive rural setting with such extensive development potential become available on the open market.

Whether the ambition is to create an exceptional country residence, establish a first-class equestrian property, develop a collection of luxury barn conversions, or simply enjoy an idyllic rural lifestyle, Church Farm provides an outstanding canvas from which to create something special, (subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions).

The semi detached farmhouse is rich in character and enjoys an abundance of original features synonymous with its age, including exposed ceiling beams, inglenook fireplaces, traditional joinery and charming countryside views from many of the principal rooms. Whilst now requiring sympathetic modernisation, it offers generous family accommodation extending over four floors and provides an exciting opportunity to restore and enhance a beautiful period home.

A covered entrance porch leads into a snug centred around a feature fireplace, with an inner hall providing access to the principal staircase. The drawing room enjoys delightful views across the surrounding farmland and features exposed beams, built-in display shelving and a further character fireplace.

The dining room features an inglenook fireplace, exposed timbers and a traditional bar area whilst enjoying attractive views across the surrounding countryside. Beyond lies the farmhouse kitchen featuring a traditional Rayburn Aga, together with a pantry, utility room and ground floor shower room. A staircase also descends to the lower ground floor, providing useful ancillary accommodation with further potential.

The first floor offers four generously proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom complete with feature fireplace, the bedrooms enjoy far-reaching views across the surrounding open farmland to both the front and rear. A well-appointed family bathroom incorporates both a bath and separate shower, whilst a further staircase rises to the second floor where two additional bedrooms offer excellent scope for refurbishment and reconfiguration to suit modern family requirements.

Externally, Church Farm is every bit as impressive. Mature gardens surround the farmhouse, whilst beyond lies an attractive paddock and extensive courtyard enclosed by a remarkable collection of traditional agricultural buildings.

Constructed predominantly in traditional brick beneath pitched roofs, the barns possess enormous architectural character and offer exceptional flexibility for future use. Their scale and arrangement create genuine opportunities for sympathetic residential conversion, holiday accommodation, home offices, workshops, leisure facilities or ancillary accommodation, all subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions.

The combination of an established farmhouse together with such an extensive range of traditional buildings is becoming increasingly rare.

The adjoining pastureland further enhances the property's appeal, making it ideally suited to equestrian purchasers, smallholding interests or those simply wishing to enjoy the privacy and lifestyle afforded by a substantial rural holding.
