Hagg Farm is a substantial five-bedroom Victorian farmhouse set within over 30 acres of pasture, gardens and woodland, accompanied by a detached two-bedroom annexe. The main house has been carefully modernised to create more than 5,100 sq ft of flexible family accommodation with high-spec kitchen fittings, a deep inglenook fireplace and generous reception rooms. The annexe is single-storey and self-contained, offering multi-generational living or reliable rental income, with its own solar PV bank.
The estate includes a broad range of outbuildings — barns, stables, a gym, workshop and a triple garage — arranged around an enclosed courtyard and serviced by a long private drive with electric gates. There is clear scope to develop an equestrian or smallholding enterprise (subject to consents), or to adapt buildings for leisure or commercial uses. Solar panels and a favourable feed-in arrangement help offset energy costs, while CCTV and an alarm system cover the site.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is freehold, connected to mains electricity and water, with drainage to a private treatment plant. Heating is oil-fired, supplemented by solar. The house is newly renovated and ready to occupy, but the estate scale invites ongoing maintenance and management of grounds, woodland and multiple buildings.
Buyers should note a few material negatives: broadband speeds in the area are slow, council tax is in a higher band, and local recorded crime levels are above average. These factors, together with the upkeep demands of a large rural estate, are important for budgeting. Overall, Hagg Farm offers a rare combination of private countryside living, substantial landholding and flexible buildings for family life or business use.
