TENURE We are advised by the vendor that the property is Freehold. Any prospective purchaser should seek clarification from their solicitor.
For the first time on the market in over 40 years is Lower Trees Farm, occupying a discreet little known position in the highly desirable Bold Venture area set back at the head of a long and leafy private track accessed via electric gates. The property is incredibly private, and is set in approximately 7.4 acres with wonderful outlooks.
The farm house has an attached barn dating around 17th century. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and briefly comprises; stone built entrance porch, hallway, two reception rooms, a conservatory, dining kitchen, first floor, four generous size bedrooms, one en-suite shower room and a family bathroom. The house offers many original and interesting features that would be the highlight of any improvement programme. The main reception room gives direct access to a large double height and untouched barn that was originally used to house livestock and later in it life was used as a workshop, in our opinion this could serve several uses including equestrian and separate living accommodation (relevant permissions maybe required).
Its conveniently located for moorland walks and trails, it is walking distance to the beautiful Bold Venture Park and of course the town centre amenities along with, rail, bus and motorway links. Development opportunities should appeal to discerning purchasers looking for a property with history, original features and stunning views.
