Period farmhouse in need of modernisation set in popular village.
Description
College Farm is a farmhouse and yard with development potential, set in the heart of the popular village of Weston.
The property is offered for sale, by private treaty, as a whole or in two lots.
Lot 1 - College Farmhouse
College Farmhouse is a Grade II listed farmhouse dating back to the late 18th Century. This attractive farmhouse has been occupied by the same family for decades and is in need of refurbishment to create a fabulous family home in a village setting.
A hallway leads to a generous sitting room with exposed wooden beams and open fireplace. A further spacious and versatile reception room, could be used as a dining room and family room / study. This also features an open fireplace and wooden beams. Steps lead up into a kitchen / breakfast room with a pantry leading off it and a porch / boot room to the front. There is also a ground floor shower room.
The first floor features two spacious double bedrooms, one with impressive, exposed timber floorboards, and a family bathroom. The second floor provides two further generous bedrooms.
To the side of the house is a traditional stone barn with corrugated metal roof. One end has an interconnecting door into the kitchen and has previously been used as a utility room / store. The remainder of the barn is used as a barn, with a part open frontage and loft storage above. This has potential for conversion and alternative uses subject to any necessary permissions.
There is an enclosed garden area and it is proposed that part of the farmyard be landscaped to provide a further courtyard garden and off-street parking.
Lot 2, which is also available either in conjunction with Lot 1 or separately, includes a traditional barn benefitting from full planning permission for conversion to provide a residential dwelling.
