About Barley Fields Farm
A unique opportunity to purchase this agricultural workers dwelling with a range of modern buildings, land and an additional mobile home. The property is located along a single track lane with a remotely operated gated access through the surrounding fields.

The farmhouse was built circa 2016 with planning permission granted under an Agricultural Occupancy Condition which restricts occupation to buyers who are (or were last) employed in agriculture. It is of traditional stone built construction beneath a pitched roof and has been built to an excellent modern standard with traditional style fittings.

It features a spacious entrance hall with spindle staircase to the first floor, lounge with solid fuel burning stove, a large dining kitchen with quality solid oak fitted units and glazed double doors to the garden. There is also a side entrance hall, utility room and downstairs WC on this floor.

On the first floor you will find a landing area with views out to the rear and access to the 3 double bedrooms. The principal bedroom features glazed double doors to a Juliette balcony and has its own en-suite shower room. The other 2 bedrooms are served by the house bathroom.

The property is connected to mains water, electricity and gas with drainage to a septic tank. There are quality modern fittings throughout with a gas central heating system (underfloor heating to the lounge, hall and dining kitchen) and uPVC double glazing.

It sits within a generous garden plot with generous parking and garden areas to the front. At the rear is a further enclosed garden and a delightful garden
room with oak framed overhanging roof.

Moving along the lane from the house you will find the modern agricultural sheds which have been used for rearing cattle and storage of machinery. The sheds are of steel portal framed construction upon a concrete base and set within a gated yard area.

The mobile home was used by our clients as their residence prior to the farmhouse being built. It now has a certificate of lawfulness and has been rented for a number of years. The electricity and water supplies are shared with the house but it has its own septic tank. It’s dimensions are 40’ x 20’ approximately and sits within its own grounds with gardens and parking. There is even an underground bunker located within the curtilage of the mobile home.

The property is completed by 2 paddocks of agricultural, one at the side of the farmhouse and further field opposite the agricultural buildings.
