Summary - Benington Bridge House, Hobhole Bank, Old Leake PE22 9RX
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Four-bed farmhouse on a huge private plot with approved barn conversion potential.
2.61-acre plot with no near neighbours
Set on a private 2.61-acre plot with no near neighbours, this four-bedroom detached farmhouse built in 1998 offers a rare blend of space and rural seclusion. The house provides generous living rooms, a large kitchen/diner and two bathrooms upstairs plus a ground-floor shower room — practical family accommodation arranged over two storeys. Oil-fired central heating and double glazing are in place; the home is ready to occupy but will benefit from modernisation in parts to unlock full potential.
A major value driver is the full planning permission (REF B/22/0374) to convert the detached barn into a 3–4 bedroom dwelling with open-plan living and an additional lounge/snug — a strong opportunity for extended family use or rental income (subject to statutory conditions). The grounds include established gardens, mature trees, a large lawn, gated driveway with ample parking and a detached garage.
Buyers should note some practical drawbacks: the barn/outbuilding is dilapidated and needs repair before conversion work; broadband speeds are very slow; heating runs on oil (private supply); and council tax is above average. The area scores as deprived in local indices and mobile signal is only average, so this property best suits purchasers who prioritise privacy and land over immediate urban convenience.
Overall, this is an attractive proposition for families seeking space and privacy or investors wanting to add value via the approved barn conversion. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the expansive plot, secluded setting and scope for improvement and extension.
