- Planning consent for B1/B2 exists; condition prevents splitting ownership

- Vendor rent-back option for small workshop for up to six months
- Restrictive covenants protect adjacent airfield; limits on certain residential uses
A substantial Victorian country house set within very large grounds and extensive commercial yard — a rare blend of period living and workable light-industrial space. The main house offers generous reception rooms, a ground-floor annexe and multiple bedrooms; many principal rooms retain period features and high ceilings but would benefit from modern updating and insulation.
The commercial element comprises large workshops, lean-tos and display yards totalling significant floor area, some currently let (cumulative contracted rent £10,200 pa) with the remainder available with vacant possession. Several roofs are asbestos-profile and the commercial buildings present clear scope for refurbishment or reconfiguration to suit continued B1/B2 uses under the existing consent.
Important legal and practical constraints affect the site: planning consent (Ref H23-0385-02) includes a condition preventing split ownership of the house and yard/buildings, and purchasers must accept restrictive covenants protecting the adjacent airfield and limiting residential-home uses. Services are mixed — mains water and electricity, private drainage, part oil-fired central heating — and broadband speeds are very slow. These are material factors for occupiers and operators to factor into viability studies.
For an investor or owner-operator this freehold offers scale, rental income potential, and redevelopment upside in a low-crime rural location. Bring a clear programme for building refurbishment, asbestos management, and service upgrades to unlock long-term value while respecting the planning and covenant constraints.
