SITUATION

Lucas Farm is located off the Corse Lawn common, offering a rare opportunity to purchase a farm with character in abundance and significant potential for renovation and redevelopment. Corse Lawn is a popular village, where properties such as these don’t come on the market very often. Lucas Farm is located just over half a mile from Eldersfield Lawn C of E Primary School and the Corse Lawn House Hotel. The nearby market town of Tewkesbury boasts a range of amenities including independent and high street shops, supermarkets, a doctors surgery, schools and a hospital.

 Whilst occupying a rural location, Lucas Farm has excellent transport links being located just 7.5 miles from Junction 1 of the M50 and Junction 9 of the M5 giving access to the wider motorway network and beyond.

FARMHOUSE

Lucas Farmhouse must be seen to fully appreciate its potential. The house provides accommodation over three floors. On the ground floor is a large hallway which spans the width of the house, offering access from the rear and to the garden at the front. Off the hallway is a utility, dining room, sitting room and kitchen/breakfast room. On the first floor are four good sized bedrooms with a family bathroom. The landing leads up to the second floor which provides four loft rooms, presenting opportunities for a home office or playroom. In total, the farmhouse provides approximately 2,930 sq. ft. (272 sq. m.) of accommodation.

To the front of the house is a good-sized garden with adjoining orchard area and a pedestrian gateway straight out to the common.

FARM BUILDINGS

There is an extensive range of farm buildings offering a combination of traditional brick buildings with conversion potential (subject to planning), and more modern adaptable farm buildings. In total, there is approximately 3,694 sq. ft (342 sq. m.) of traditional buildings and a further 13,937 sq. ft. (1,292 sq. m.) of modern farm buildings.

FARMLAND

Located behind the farmhouse and farm buildings and accessed via the main farm drive is a ringfenced block of pasture extending in all to 35.19 acres (14.25 ha). Historically the land has been used for grazing cattle. The land is flat in nature and bordered predominantly by hedgerows. The farmland is all Grade 3 and lends itself to livestock grazing and hay/silage making, with plenty of buildings to service the use of the land. The land and buildings also offer significant potential for equestrian or amenity uses (subject to the necessary planning consents). At the centre of the block of land is the remains of a medieval moat, around field no. 3433. This is listed as a Scheduled Monument. 

Grazing rights on the common land are to be confirmed, and will be included within the sale.

A further 11.95 acres is available (Lot 2).
