Offering enormous potential with about 32.29 acres in the rural fringes of Stock
The property is available for the first time in some 40 years and represents an exciting opportunity for the incoming purchaser to modernise or redevelop, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions.
House
Constructed in the 1980s with latter additions, the house comprises three reception rooms, two large first floor bedrooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, a utility room, a ground floor cloakroom and two bathrooms.
Outbuildings
The property was a former poultry farm and as such as a number of single storey former sheds comprising six former poultry sheds, two silos, substantial concrete framed agricultural barn and two former Nissan huts.
The driveway has an electric timber-gated entrance and is owned by Hawthorns, with the neighbouring property having a right of access to the driveway. The land is in a single block without public access, comprising about 32.29 acres. In front of the house is a courtyard and beyond is a detached single storey brick outbuilding. Beyond is a substantial garage with three roller electric up-and-over doors.
Services
Mains water and electricity. Please note that the drainage is a private system and will need replacing by the incoming purchaser as it is not compliant with the 2020 regulations.
Agents note
It has come to light that during the hot summer of 2022 there have been signs of subsidence. Consequently, it is unlikely the property is mortgageable.

For me this represents a fantastic opportunity to acquire one of the last remaining smallholdings in the area. The combination of a house, land and significant buildings will really excite the market.
