Broadmoor Farm is a substantial five-bedroom detached farmhouse set in about 1.37 acres of gardens, paddock and outbuildings — ideal for a family seeking a rural lifestyle or someone wanting land and scope for small-scale diversification. The house retains period character: sash windows, slate roof and a cosy sitting room with wood-burning stove. Accommodation is arranged over three floors and includes a large kitchen/dining room, pantry, utility, cloakroom and just one main bathroom.
The plot is a standout: formal gardens, a level enclosed paddock, garage/store and generous parking. Planning permission exists for conversion of two former outbuildings to dwellings and the vendor is applying to change this to two new builds; temporary access will be required for construction. A further range of former farm buildings (in need of repair) may be available by separate negotiation, offering potential development or hobby-farm uses subject to consents.
Practical points to note: the property was built circa 1905 and will need some modernization. EPC Band E, oil-fired central heating, private drainage of unknown compliance, slow broadband and only a single bathroom for five bedrooms are material considerations. The house is offered chain-free, with excellent mobile signal and very low local crime, but it sits in a remote agricultural community so daily amenities are limited and journey times to larger towns are significant.
Overall, Broadmoor Farm will appeal to buyers prioritising outdoor space, privacy and rural character who are willing to carry out updating and investigate the planning options for the outbuildings. Viewing will show how much of the original charm remains and where investment will add value.
