Period farmhouse and outbuildings on about 11.8 acres

Description
White Farm is a Grade II listed farmhouse with a variety of outbuildings, barns and sheds, set on a plot of about 11.8 acres. The main house is in need of renovation and modernisation but the additional building total over 3,000 sq ft in footprint and offer great scope for further development, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

The farmhouse retains considerable character, believed to date from the 16th century and later adapted in the early 18th century, featuring a handsome timber-framed structure set on a flint sill with brick detailing and traditional roughcast elevations. The house is arranged in a classic T plan with a hall range and cross wing, beneath steeply pitched roofs, and is distinguished externally by its central brick chimney with distinctive diagonal shafts, gabled dormers and a mix of sash and multilight windows. Internally, the property retains a wealth of period features including substantial exposed beams, wide fireplaces, original joinery and historic fittings, all contributing to its strong sense of heritage and architectural interest.

Internally there is a central hallway, there large reception rooms including beamed sitting room with inglenook fireplace, kitchen and further lean to utility room.

On the first floor there is a large main bedroom, second bedroom and a further two rooms, one of which leads to the other and a family bathroom.

White Farm is a former dairy farm and has a range of outbuildings including cow sheds, hay barns, grain silos and other stores, some of which could possible be converted into additional residential accommodation or for leisure uses, subject to planning. There are gardens around the house and then a number of fields and rough pasture paddocks giving the potential for use as a small holding or equestrian use if required. To the side of the house the former farmyard offers extensive parking and there is an old covered well. There is a second vehicular access to the hay barns and grain silos.

Within the boundary of the land there are two structures that are leased out by the owners, a Scout Hut on the Southern boundary and a Vodaphone telecommunications mast to the North.

Nb We believe that there may be asbestos roofing on one or more of the outbuildings.
