A rare, versatile smallholding of almost 17 acres combining a former farmhouse, attached cottage, detached four-bedroom barn conversion, bunkhouse and Dutch barn. The group of buildings and extensive grounds have been used successfully for retreats, workshops and group stays, offering clear scope for income from holiday lets, wellness events or multi-family living.
The estate sits privately with woodland, paddock grazing and river access. Practical features include a polytunnel, productive fruiting areas, multiple outbuildings, carports and gated parking. Energy provision is mixed: solar panels and solar thermal on parts of the site, with solid-fuel stoves, LPG and electric boiler backups helping keep running costs adaptable.
Notable positives are the scale and flexibility of the buildings and land, along with established use for events and workshops. However, buyers should be aware of material downsides: parts of the woodland need storm-damage clearance, one field (around 4 acres) will be retained by the sellers, and the property relies on private water supplies and private drainage. Energy ratings vary across units (D main house, G cottage, B barn conversion) and council tax bands are high.
This is a practical opportunity for an investor, retreat operator or multi-generational household prepared to manage ongoing maintenance, apply for any necessary planning consents for conversions, and take responsibility for private services and woodland management.
