Summary - Beardon Barton, Boyton PL15 8NR
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Large private holding with cottages, outbuildings and development potential.
Approximately 43 acres of ring‑fenced land and two stocked spring‑fed lakes
Beardon Barton is a substantial 16th‑century Grade II listed Barton set in about 43 acres of ring‑fenced land, with a five‑bedroom manor house, four remaining cottages, extensive outbuildings and two spring‑fed fishing lakes. The estate generates rental income from cottages currently on ASTs and benefits from planning permission for a three‑bed replacement dwelling on the eastern boundary, offering development or resale potential.
The main house retains strong period character — exposed beams, granite fireplaces, Aga and a sunny south‑facing conservatory — but is inefficient to run. Heating is by local room heaters and wood burner only; the property has an EPC rating of G. Services are mixed: mains electricity, private borehole water and private drainage (septic tank). Council tax and running costs are high, and listed status will constrain alterations and conversions.
Outbuildings and paddocks suit equestrian, smallholding or commercial rural uses. Several conversion permissions previously granted for barns have lapsed, though two buildings had council support for residential status in the past. The cottages (one already sold) have listed building consent for permanent occupation for the remaining units, maintaining a steady income stream. The large yard, garage, stables and park home add versatility but will need ongoing maintenance.
This holding will appeal to buyers seeking a self‑contained rural estate with immediate rental income and scope to create further value through sensitive refurbishments or permitted redevelopment. Buyers should budget for conservation‑grade repairs, modern heating and services upgrades, and should obtain specialist listed‑building and drainage advice before committing.
