Middle Road Farm provides a fantastic opportunity to purchase a detached farmhouse with huge potential to renovate and improve together with adjoining land and stone outbuildings suitable for conversion, subject to any necessary consents.

The property is grade II listed and is constructed of natural stone elevations and it is believed to date back to the 17th century. It comprises of a three bedroom farmhouse and an adjoining former cottage providing additional accommodation.

The main farmhouse accommodation comprises of 3 bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, reception and sitting room. Adjoining the main part of the house is a later addition comprising of three rooms on the ground floor and a single room on the first floor. It is likely that this was originally occupied as a separate cottage but has been linked into the main house, although the doorways are now blocked up. It offers potential to create a substantial family home or potentially could be split to be occupied separately, subject to any necessary consents.

Outside there is a stone built stable block and a stone built former privy/storage building. In December 2010 planning permission was granted (Application No: 09/00004/FUL) for the change of use to provide ancillary

accommodation and refurbishment of the former privy to provide a sauna and shower room. It is anticipated that this permission may have been implemented but interested parties should make their own enquiries with
