Fair View is a traditional three-bedroom farmhouse set within approximately 7.48 hectares (18.48 acres) of permanent pasture and mixed woodland. The house offers flexible ground-floor living, two reception rooms with open fires, a kitchen with pantry, and a functional outbuilding/garage. Productive grassland, three steel portal-frame agricultural buildings and direct farmyard access make this smallholding ready for livestock or hobby farming.
The plot includes about 6.16 hectares (15.23 acres) of grassland and 0.82 hectares (2.03 acres) of woodland, with multiple access points from surrounding lanes. Practical services include mains electricity, a spring water supply, septic tank drainage and oil-fired central heating. The site is quiet yet accessible — less than a mile from the A68 — with good mobile signal and a very low flood risk.
Buyers should note material considerations: the farmhouse has an EPC rating of E (40) and broadband speeds in the area are very slow. The property is largely original (c.1930–1949) and will benefit from updating and possible refurbishment, particularly if converting outbuildings or adapting the house for modern energy standards. The smallholding is sold freehold and subject to existing rights, easements and any public or private access arrangements.
This offering will suit buyers seeking a workable smallholding or rural lifestyle: families wanting space and privacy, hobby farmers, or investors looking for agricultural income potential. Perform standard due diligence on services, planning for building conversions, and agricultural entitlements before committing.
