A Rural Farmhouse With Acreage & Further Potential

Situated a short drive from the popular village of Tydd St Giles, this detached period farmhouse would benefit from upgrading with potential to extend, subject to planning permission being granted. Rurally located with only a few neighbours, the property has farm land views from most windows. In brief the property comprises three first floor bedrooms, ground floor bathroom, sitting room with fireplace, dining room with fireplace, kitchen, utility room and boot room. Outside the property sits back off the road and is entered via a metal farm gate to the rear of the house which opens to a large overgrown yard previously used when the property was a farm. Within this yard is a single storey pole barns in need of repair and a useable stable block providing three stables. Off the yard to the side and sweeping around the front of the house are grassed paddocks and there are gardens to either side. The grounds are in need of some work, but do offer the new purchaser a rare opportunity to provide improved equestrian facilities and a habitable house with huge scope to enlarge, subject to obtaining all the necessary consents. Viewing is strictly via Rural and Equestrian, the sole agents. Please not that the property is CHAIN FREE and currently let out with vacant possession on completion (from the 15^th of September 2010).
