Set in an elevated rural hamlet, Middle Brown Edge Farm is a traditional Victorian stone farmhouse offered as a renovation project with immediate scope for improvement and enlargement (subject to consents). The house currently provides three bedrooms, a single bathroom and comfortable reception rooms across two floors, with mature front gardens and a private driveway leading to a yard with parking for multiple vehicles.
The property sits with adjoining grassland extending to approximately 5.05 acres, bounded by dry stone walls and post-and-wire fencing — suitable for grazing, mowing or small-scale equestrian use. A range of traditional agricultural outbuildings adjoin the farmhouse and occupy the yard and fields; they are aged and require repair but present conversion potential to increase living accommodation or create purpose-built stables, workshops or storage (planning and building regulations would apply).
Practical details to note: the house requires internal modernisation throughout, the heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators and drainage is by private septic tank. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow and mobile signal is average. Council Tax Band E and the EPC is F, reflecting likely running and improvement costs. Overhead wires and two public footpaths cross the holding and are sold with the property, and a further 5.26-acre paddock is available separately by negotiation.
This property will suit buyers seeking a countryside project with substantial land — hobby farmers, equestrian owners or those wanting flexible agricultural outbuildings. It is not a turnkey home: expect immediate renovation work, utility checks, and planning enquiries if converting buildings or changing layouts.
