The property has been owned by the same family since 1937 when the current owner’s father visited to buy a cow and calf but he loved it so much he ended up buying the whole farm. In February 2015, the vendor obtained planning permission to convert the traditional brick barns into five residential units, and in the agent’s opinion, the property in general offers further development opportunities subject to the necessary permissions. In particular the land, barns and stables have clear potential for equestrian use and indeed have previously been used for this purpose.
