Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • 2 Large Detached Properties
  • Grade II Listed
  • In Need of Renovation
  • Potential for Development (STC)
  • Private Farm Driveway
  • Outhouse with Potential
  • Approximately 3.1 Acres

These two large detached Grade II Listed period properties are in need of considerable restoration and offers are invited from cash buyers.  The main property is believed to date back to 1802 and has recently benefited from a newly rendered fascade and overhauled roof.  Internally the property has been stripped and is thought to offer potential to be subdivided into three units, subject to any necessary consents, or restored back into one house.  The separate cottage is also a substantial house that requires renovation.  Approached over a private road, a gate gives access to a large area of parking and turning in front of the properties.  There is walled garden, large feature pond and an attractive flint outhouse that is thought to offer potential.  The grounds extend to approximately 3.1 acres and the whole is surrounded by land that is identified for either residential or commercial development.  As such the land may offer scope for new housing, subject to any necessary consents.

The properties have a Right of Way over a farm track that leads into a gated entrance to a large area of parking and turning associated with each property. To the side of the cottage is an attractive wall that encloses a feature pond with a separate vehicular access where there may be an opportunity for an additional dwelling, subject to the necessary consents. The grounds themselves wrap around the front of Preston Hall and extend out to the rear amounting to approximately 3.1 acres in all and surrounded by adjoining land that is earmarked for residential/commercial development. It is therefore thought that there could be some long term potential on some of the ground for residential housing, subject to any necessary consents.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
