4 bed lodge for sale

Hampton Bishop, Hereford HR1

Best and Final offers 12 noon Friday 18th September.

Situation & Description

Field Farm occupies a highly accessible position on the eastern side of Hereford, offering an unusual opportunity to acquire all or part of a former agricultural and fruit-processing site with considerable scope for refurbishment, alternative uses and future potential, subject to any necessary consents.

The property is being offered as a whole or in three separate lots, comprising The Gatehouse, a detached former lodge requiring complete refurbishment; an extensive range of agricultural and former fruit-processing buildings with their own vehicular access and adjoining orchard; and a separate parcel of approximately 2.41 acres of permanent pasture.

This is very much an opportunity where different buyers may see different possibilities. The individual lots can stand alone, but their availability together provides the potential to create a substantial home with land and buildings, a smallholding, business or storage premises, or a combination of uses, all subject to the necessary planning and other consents.

The location is particularly convenient, combining a rural setting with straightforward access to Hereford and the surrounding road network.

The Gatehouse

The Gatehouse is an extended brick-built former lodge offering an increasingly rare opportunity to take on a substantial refurbishment project and create a home to individual requirements. Please request 360 video tour

The property now requires comprehensive renovation throughout. Plans for refurbishment have already been submitted (application subsequently withdrawn - see link), providing a useful starting point for prospective purchasers considering the possibilities offered by the building.

The existing accommodation is arranged over two floors.

An enclosed entrance porch opens into the hall, off which is a cupboard housing the oil-fired central heating boiler.

On the ground floor are a sitting room, kitchen, bathroom area with separate WC and a bedroom. A further living room is situated within the extended part of the property.

On the first floor are three further bedrooms.

Outside, The Gatehouse has car parking and turning space together with gardens.

For those looking for more than the house alone, there is an unusual opportunity to acquire additional property immediately alongside. The adjoining Field Farm site, comprising an extensive range of agricultural and former fruit-processing buildings with its own vehicular access and orchard area, is available separately at a Guide Price of £325,000. Best and Final offers 12 noon Friday 18th September.

A further approximately 2.41 acres of permanent pasture, incorporating some mature fruit trees, is also available separately at a Guide Price of £75,000. Best and Final offers 12 noon Friday 18th September.

Purchasers therefore have the flexibility to acquire The Gatehouse individually, combine it with either of the adjoining lots, or consider the Field Farm opportunity as a whole.

Guide Price £265,000 Best and Final offers 12 noon Friday 18th September.
Viewing arrangements


Viewings will be strictly by prior appointment and will take place on designated block viewing days. As this is a former agricultural and commercial site, viewers are asked to take particular care when inspecting the property and buildings and to observe all warning and restricted access signage. The buildings are generally considered to be in good overall condition; however, some areas may present the hazards normally associated with buildings of this nature. There is strictly no access to the first floor of the partially converted stone barn. Viewers enter the site and buildings at their own risk and neither the vendors nor their agents can accept responsibility for any accident, injury, loss or damage sustained during a viewing.
