High Crompton Farm is a rare Grade II listed seventeenth‑century farmhouse set in an elevated three‑acre parcel with broad south‑east to south‑west views across open countryside. The stone farmhouse, former five‑bay barn and cow shed present a substantial restoration and development opportunity for someone able to manage a listed‑building project.
The house retains stone mullion windows and internal timber features but has been unoccupied for around a year; doors and windows are boarded and the property requires extensive renovation throughout. The adjoining five‑bay barn has a collapsed southeast gable and missing roof slates; several timber and tin outbuildings are of limited value and easy to remove.
Practical considerations include an EPC rating of G (potential B), oil‑fired boiler heating, assumed uninsulated stone walls, slow broadband and access currently banked up for security. The freehold site offers huge garden/field potential and strong privacy, but the Grade II listing will require specialist consent for alterations and will complicate refurbishment.
Offers are invited by informal tender with a deadline of 12:00 noon on 15 October 2025. This is best suited to an investor, developer or experienced homeowner seeking a high‑visibility countryside project with significant character and scope for value uplift after sensitive restoration.
