Set in Colston Bassett’s most sought-after village, The Old Farmhouse combines period character with contemporary flexibility across circa 3,796 sq ft. The main five-bedroom farmhouse sits alongside a newly converted three-bedroom barn annexe, arranged on a huge plot of around 1.5 acres including formal cottage gardens and a secure paddock with three stables and separate vehicular access.
The barn currently operates as a successful short‑let, producing around £4,000 net per month on average since 2021, offering genuine income potential or independent guest accommodation. Planning consent (ref 20/00121/FUL) permits a rear extension to physically connect the barn to the farmhouse if a single larger residence is preferred, adding roughly 500 sq ft of internal space.
The property retains traditional features and a solid brick construction with double glazing and gas central heating. Practical considerations include solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated), an unknown double‑glazing install date, and the house’s pre‑1900 age—factors to weigh for long‑term maintenance and energy efficiency improvements. Council tax is noted as quite expensive.
Viewings are recommended to appreciate the scale, layout and flexibility on offer. This home will suit a family seeking space and village life, or a buyer wanting a primary residence with proven short‑let income; investors should note income seasonality and ongoing management requirements for holiday lets and outbuildings.
