Holme Field House is a spacious former farmhouse with around 2,000 sq ft of accommodation and a large plot offering immediate scope for improvement and value uplift. The house retains period character — sash windows, high ceilings and open fireplaces — but requires full modernisation throughout, making it well suited to an investor or purchaser comfortable with renovation work.
A range of traditional outbuildings and extensive gardens provide practical storage, garaging and clear conversion potential (subject to consents). The western portion of the site received a favourable pre-application response for two semi-detached bungalows; a formal planning application would be required to proceed. Mains water and electricity are connected; drainage has historically been to a cesspit though mains drainage is now available in the village.
Practical drawbacks are material and should be noted: the property has an EPC rating of G and will need significant updating — heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, walls are likely uninsulated solid brick, and parts of the accommodation (an attic room) are only ladder-accessible. The house is offered for sale by online auction with buyer administration charges and a buyer’s premium payable in addition to the purchase price.
For a buyer targeting renovation, small-scale redevelopment or rental income in a quieter village setting, the house combines generous internal space, useful outbuildings and demonstrable planning interest on part of the plot. Appropriate pre-purchase surveys and planning searches are recommended before bidding at auction.
