Summary - FORCING HILL FARM, WEST END, NORTHAMPTON, WELFORD NN6 6HJ
5 bed 2 bath Farm House
Large holding with paddock and conversion potential for smallholders.
Five-bedroom detached period farmhouse with character features
An imposing five-bedroom period farmhouse set on the edge of Welford, with far-reaching countryside views and extensive outbuildings. The main house offers generous, characterful accommodation across two storeys, a west-facing patio, mature gardens, orchard, greenhouse and a ground-mounted solar PV array providing a small income.
The property sits with immediate paddock (1.27 acres) suitable for equestrian or small-scale agricultural use, plus two further blocks of productive Grade 3 land (35.11 acres and 87.39 acres) included if bought as a whole. Outbuildings and a separate brick barn present scope for conversion or alternative uses, subject to planning consent, making the holding attractive to buyers seeking a working smallholding, hobby farm or development potential (with restrictions).
Buyers should note the outbuildings require modernisation and the barn in Lot 3 is currently in disrepair. Grassland is sold subject to existing grazing licences until 31 October 2025 and an overage clause reserves 30% of any uplift in value from non-agricultural/equestrian development for 30 years (farmhouse and certain buildings excluded).
Practical features include mains services, oil-fired central heating, double glazing, garage parking, and a D-rated EPC (D 55 with potential to C 76). The property offers good road and rail links via Market Harborough, Rugby and Northampton, while sitting in a very affluent, low-crime rural hamlet with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
