A substantial four-bedroom Victorian farmhouse set within approximately 4.81 acres, Buttertons Lane Farm offers an authentic smallholding opportunity on the edge of Haslington. The red-brick, two-storey house retains period features including open fireplaces and a back-boiler hearth, and sits alongside a mix of traditional brick outbuildings and modern steel-framed agricultural sheds. Much of the land is grass pasture (circa 3.73 acres) with extensive hardstanding and panoramic countryside views.
This property will suit a buyer seeking a working smallholding, equestrian base or someone wanting to work from home with storage/office potential, subject to planning permission. The buildings currently have agricultural planning only; other uses (business, equestrian, development) would need the relevant consents. Strong road links (A500/M6 nearby) make the site practical for a commuting business user or country family.
The farmhouse and outbuildings require renovation and updating – the property has an EPC rating of F and private drainage. Notable sale conditions include an overage clause (50% of uplift for additional property development for 80 years) and a purchaser contribution of 1.5% of the purchase price towards vendor professional fees. Broadband is very slow on site, although mobile signal is excellent.
Overall, Buttertons Lane Farm is a rare rural parcel with genuine scope: create a refurbished family home with on-site business, continue agricultural use, or explore change-of-use possibilities. Buyers should budget for remedial works, check planning prospects, and factor the overage and additional sale conditions into future development plans.
