Turnkey equestrian base with renewable energy and scope for income.
Renovated five‑bed farmhouse with conservatory and detached garage
Midfield Farm is a renovated, late‑Victorian farmhouse with substantial equestrian infrastructure and 34.40 acres included in Lot 1. The main house has been modernised with renewable energy systems — ground source heat pump, solar panels and a licensed hydro installation — reducing running costs and supporting independent energy generation. Accommodation includes five bedrooms, conservatory, two reception rooms, utility/boiler room, detached garage and a separate log cabin suitable for staff or short‑let use. Drainage is to a private sewage treatment plant installed in 2017; EPC rating D.
The equestrian facilities are extensive: five stables plus additional open stables, a 62m x 22m arena with FlexiRide surface (one third roofed), a large round pen and a Monarch 6 horse exerciser. Outbuildings include former stables, a milking byre and traditional stone barn and byre, which the vendors highlight as suitable for conversion to holiday cottages or additional accommodation, subject to planning permission. Lot 1’s land mix of grazing and mowing fields can be farmed, let to neighbouring farmers for income, or retained for private equestrian use.
Notable practical points are clear: broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal only average, which may limit home‑working or digital livery management. Some traditional stone walls are assumed uninsulated; buyers should confirm fabric insulation and services. Proposed conversions of outbuildings and the separate field barn will require formal planning approval and building regulation sign‑off before holiday lets or permanent dwellings can be created. Lot 4 (46.74 acres) is available separately and could be used for planting trees or left as rough grazing.
This property will be sold at auction and represents a rare package for those seeking a turnkey equestrian base with strong renewable energy credentials and scope to add value through consented conversions or land management. Buyers should budget for consent processes if planning to convert buildings and allow time to resolve broadband limitations if remote connectivity is required.
