5 bedroom detached house

INTRODUCTION An intriguing opportunity for a purchaser to acquire a substantial plot of land within the village of Wix, with the benefit of an existing five bedroom detached house (subject to Agricultural Occupancy Condition) and a consent in place for a further four-bedroom property not subject to any restrictions. Abbey Bottom Farm is an opportunity not to be missed and we highly recommend a viewing.  

PLANNING 21/00854/FUL consent has been obtained for the construction of a four-bedroom detached two storey property to the North Western side of the existing property. The new dwelling benefits from a sitting room overlooking paddocks, open plan kitchen/dining room and a ground floor main bedroom. There is ample space and opportunity for the consented property and a sizable area of land to be sold away from the existing property if desired.  

AGRICULTURAL OCCUPANCY CONDITION Abbey Bottom Farm is subject to a Agricultural Occupancy Condition and restriction regards the occupation of the existing five bedroom house. The fundamentals of the restriction restrict occupancy of the property to those working within agriculture and a number of other associated industries. We would highly recommend a buyer intending to occupy the existing house consults with their legal representative to ensure compliance. The consented four bedroom plot is not, we understand, subject to an agricultural occupancy condition.

Heating and hot water is supplied via an LPG fired conventional boiler with freestanding tank in the garden. Broadband is available to the property.
