Description

Offered with the benefit of no upward chain is this characterful three bedroom farmhouse, set within 5.1 acres including a two bedroom cottage, a large agricultural barn and additional outbuildings. Presenting plenty of scope for residential, equestrian or commercial development (subject to relevant permissions), Ley Hill Farm lies within a wrap around plot bordered by open countryside, combining the ideals of rural living with a well-connected location having excellent commuter links and village amenities nearby.

Two driveways approach Ley Hill Farm allowing for the plot to easily be separated into lots, and the position of the outbuildings, barn and hardstanding yard present an ideal set up for a home-run business or livery style rental. A range of outbuildings offer exterior storage, stabling or potential for conversion, subject to relevant planning permissions, and a large agricultural barn also presents conversion potential alongside an extensive hardstanding yard with space for further outbuildings or parking for larger vehicles. The three bedroom farmhouse overlooks stunning gardens to the front and rear aspects, with an additional two bedroom cottage being an ideal rental, annexe or space to extend the farmhouse accommodation. Both properties offer a wealth of character and
double bedrooms, as well as each having private gardens and parking. The cottage and farmhouse are serviced by a private drainage system and oil central heating (separate to each property) as well as an LPG feed for the ovens.
