An extensive Northamptonshire holding with about 227 acres in total, offered as a whole or in up to two lots. Lot 1 (c.15.8 acres) includes a detached three‑bedroom farmhouse, large garden, paddocks, extensive traditional and modern farm buildings (c.30,921 sqft GEA), and a floodlit 40m x 20m manège — all with clear redevelopment potential subject to planning (STPP).
The farmhouse is habitable but in need of modernisation and broader renovation; it benefits from oil central heating, two woodburners, private drainage to a septic tank (which may not comply with current regulations) and an EPC rating of F. The traditional brick and stone buildings offer character and scope for conversion but will require investment and planning consents. Part of the built fabric is pre‑1900 and some walls are likely uninsulated.
Lot 2 comprises c.211.5 acres of permanent pasture, Grade 3 agricultural land suitable for livestock or arable rotation, divided by mature hedges and post‑and‑rail fencing. The freehold sale includes sporting, timber and mineral rights so far as owned, and the land sits in a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone (NVZ). The property is served by mains water and single‑phase electricity to buildings; mobile signal and broadband are good and local crime is low.
This is a high‑value rural opportunity suited to an agricultural buyer, equestrian operator or developer-investor prepared to manage renovation, septic replacement and planning risks. The sale will be by auction; interested parties should note potential holdover for storage and vendor vacating, and should make their own planning and environmental enquiries.
