Description

Spacious 4 bedroom farmhouse with 52 acres of farmland, numerous outbuildings, and parking. Situated in a semi-rural Barcombe location with potential for modernisation, subject to planning permissions.

Nestled in the scenic and semi-rural village of Barcombe, this unique 4 bedroom farmhouse on Cooksbridge Road offers an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking a property with land, outbuildings, and potential. Set amidst approximately 52 acres of surrounding farmland, this property combines the charm of country living with the convenience of being within easy reach of local amenities and transport links.

The main farmhouse offers three well proportioned bedrooms and further spaces which could be used as bedrooms or office space as well as two bathrooms. The open plan reception room open in to the Kitchen area with fitted units, a wood burning stove and window overlooking countryside. The layout offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, with scope for enhancing the property to suit your individual style and needs.

Outside, the property boasts multiple outbuildings and barns, two of which are internally connected to the main house which offer a plethora of possibilities. These structures could fulfil a variety of purposes, such as storage, workshops, or even conversion into additional living or recreational spaces, subject to the necessary planning permissions. For equestrian enthusiasts or those with agricultural interests, the barns and extensive farmland provide a wealth of opportunities.

The surrounding farmland, totalling approximately 52 acres, is a rare find and adds significant value to the property. Whether you envision using the land for farming, equestrian pursuits, or simply as expansive outdoor space for recreation, the possibilities are vast. The property also features ample parking for multiple vehicles, ensuring practicality for residents and visitors alike.

The semi-rural setting of Barcombe provides the perfect balance between tranquillity and accessibility. The area is renowned for its picturesque landscapes, excellent walking trails, and a friendly community atmosphere. Despite its countryside location, the property remains conveniently situated with access to nearby transport links, making it suitable for both commuters and individuals seeking a peaceful retreat.

Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
