We are delighted to offer to the market this substantial farmhouse together with a 3.56 acre paddock that will appeal to buyers with equestrian interests and anyone looking for a renovation project. The Farmhouse benefits from PVCu double-glazing to most windows and LPG central heating, however, it would now benefit from a programme of modernisation and improvement and has the potential to create an impressive family home. Planning consent has been obtained for alterations to the existing building including the conversion of an adjoining barn to create a fabulous new kitchen and alterations to the existing second-floor accommodation to form a master bedroom suite including a balcony that affords sea views.   The property also benefits from a good-sized garden, an orchard, and a neighbouring paddock.
