A substantial farmhouse with a number of agricultural buildings
within a rural village setting offering a range of alternative uses

Description

Fedwells Farm comprises a substantial eighteen century stone farmhouse and an extensive range of traditional agricultural buildings, occupying approximately 4.78 acres (1.93 hectares) in the desirable village of Warkton, Northamptonshire. Requiring comprehensive refurbishment throughout, the property presents a rare opportunity to restore and enhance a characterful period residence whilst realising the significant potential offered by the wider holding.

The property includes a range of traditional barns, machinery stores as well as two stables and a tack room. The existing buildings and generous plot provide considerable scope for redevelopment, conversion or diversification (subject to the necessary planning consents) making the property particularly attractive to developers or private individuals seeking a principle residence.

The first floor offers five generously proportioned bedrooms, many of which retain traditional features including open fireplaces and large windows. A family bathroom occupies a convenient central position within the house, while a further bathroom offers potential to be adapted as either a dual access facility serving neighbouring bedrooms or an en-suite, creating the opportunity for a principal bedroom suite. A dedicated laundry room completes the first floor, providing practical access from both the bedrooms and bathrooms.

Two staircases, located at opposite ends of the house, provide excellent circulation and offer the potential for partial separation of accommodation, should this be desired. Further storage is available throughout the property, including within the cellar.

The house retains a wealth of period charm and character, with numerous original features throughout. While requiring a programme of modernisation, it presents an exciting opportunity to create an exceptional home tailored to individual requirements.

The property was previously operated as a dairy farm, with the milking parlour located within the modern barn. There is a range of buildings, including traditional brick-built barns, which have been used as cattle sheds, workshops and machinery storage. The larger shed is of steel-frame construction with concrete flooring and Yorkshire boarding.

The buildings offer the opportunity for conversion to residential or commercial uses subject to relevant planning permission being obtained.

Fedwells Farm is particularly well suited to purchasers with equestrian interests. Subject to obtaining the necessary consents, the former cubicle sheds could be converted into an indoor ménage, whilst the smaller barns could be adapted for use as stables and tack rooms.

The land extends to approximately 4.78 acres (1.93 hectares) and wraps around the property, being bordered by mature hedgerows. With additional access to the property, the outbuildings could be separated from the residential dwelling, offering greater privacy to the owners.
