Property description
Looking for space? A fantastic Grade II listed former Farmhouse with over 3000 sqft of accommodation plus a large two storey barn, 2.5 acres of gardens and paddock plus ample parking and offering excellent privacy away from main roads yet accessible.
West Halse is a detached Grade II listed former Farmhouse, full of character with many original features still in place. The accommodation is large with over 3000 sqft of space over two floors. There are 4 double bedrooms (master ensuite) all with exposed timbers and rural outlooks. The layout offers 3 receptions including a lovely garden room/conservatory which is found off of the farmhouse style kitchen with plenty of room for a large table and a modern electric AGA. There are stores/utility and boot rooms accessible from inside and out.
Outside the property is approached via a private lane (initially owned by the local farmer) and gives West Halse excellent privacy. There is a large parking area with access and plenty of room for a motorhome/boat etc. The gardens and land are currently split into a few areas with a couple of larger paddocks, separated by mature trees and hedges which makes for a more interesting layout than an open expanse of grass. The whole property is surrounded by farmland.
Opposite the house is a two storey barn totalling approx. 1500 sqft which would suit a whole host of uses such as a holiday let, office or annexe (subject to the necessary permissions). Currently it has a couple of stores and a large workshop to the ground floor and a large storage room/studio on the first floor.
