Description

North Farm is an appealing smallholding with income producing buildings which could be used for a variety of uses ranging from purely residential with an income stream to an equestrian or agricultural lifestyle purchase.

Lot 1   Dwelling, Outbuildings, Paddock and Field

Coloured pink on plan. About 12.23 acres (4.94 hectares)

North Farmhouse was built just after the Second World War and is an attractive, brick under tile, detached 4-bedroom home. It has been in the same family ownership since new and has been well maintained and updated over the years.

The accommodation is as shown on the floorplan and includes two reception rooms and a good sized, light and airy kitchen/breakfast room. A study, utility and downstairs cloakroom complete the ground floor.

On the first floor are three bedrooms and a family bathroom with a further bedroom and eaves storage on the second floor.

Outside is an excellent building range providing a garage, large workshop and covered parking area. Lying primarily to the south of the house is the extensive garden which includes, and is surrounded by, a number of mature specimen trees. The grounds include lawn, borders and a wildlife pond (enclosed for safety).

Paddock and Field

To the south of the house is an attractive 2 acre grass paddock enclosed by established hedgerows. To the east is the larger grass meadow of over 9 acres, which provides enormous scope for traditional wildlife meadows or for grazing. The field has a separate access onto the public highway.

Lot 2   Commercial Buildings and Paddock

Coloured blue on the attached plan. About 3.62 acres (1.46 hectares)

On the other side of the Didcot Road to the Farmhouse are two former farm buildings which are occupied by a window manufacturing company. The buildings and yard are let until 25th June 2025 and the current rental is £30,000 per annum.

The layout of the buildings is shown on the floor plan and in total they extend to approximately 5,100 sq ft (Gross External). One building is currently used as offices, storage and a trade counter and the second predominantly as storage/assembly.

Adjoining the buildings, but not included within the lease, is a further grass paddock of approximately 3.06 acres (1.23 ha).
