A small farm with equestrian potential in an excellent location near the highly sought-after village of Tattenhall.

Description

Newton House Farm comprises a well-maintained 20th Century farmhouse, a brick built barn with one end converted to an annexe and planning consent for conversion to two holiday cottages. There are three excellent cattle buildings and an enclosed workshop/store with a roller shutter door, all with concrete floors.

The Farmhouse

At its core Newton House Farm has an attractive farmhouse with brick elevations beneath a tiled roof. The original house on the site was destroyed by a bomb during WW2 and the current structure replaced it in the 1940s. It has been in the current owners family for many years and is an excellent carefully maintained home.

The accommodation is arranged on two floors and the front door opens into a hall with stairs to the first floor and serving the drawing room, study and dining room. The drawing room is a spacious and comfortable room with a fireplace with a log burner. There are double glazed doors from the dining room to a sitting room with French doors opening into the garden. There is a well-appointed kitchen with a good range of storage units and an electric range cooker and a utility room and WC complete the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor is a principal bedroom and two further bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes, a bathroom and a separate WC.

The house is set in a large garden which is mainly laid to lawn and bounded by mature hedging. There are various specimen trees and plants and a paved terrace used for outside dining.

Annexe

Linked to the farmhouse via the gardens is a traditional brick shippon which has planning consent for conversion to two holiday cottages. One end has been converted into an annexe and offers useful overflow accommodation to the main house, but also offers income earning potential.

The annexe comprises a kitchen/family room, a bedroom and bathroom.

The balance of the building has a workshop and store, with a mezzanine and a large open barn area, suitable for a variety of uses.

Agricultural and equestrian buildings

Newton House Farm has a superb range of buildings primarily used for the rearing and fattening of a pedigree beef herd. With large spans and concrete floors the buildings could easily be adapted for other purposes, subject to gaining the necessary consents.

They comprise:

- Enclosed workshop/store with concrete floor and roller shutter and pedestrian doors.
- Adjoining open fronted storage barn.
- Two stables.
- Cattle shed with steel frame and concrete floor – 80’x45’.
- Cattle shed with steel frame and concrete floor – 95’x45’.
- Cattle shed with steel frame and concrete floor – 75’x45’.

The land forms a single block with access from the farmstead, from Newton Lane and Tattenhall Road. It is arranged in a total of 5 stock proof fields, each with access to water, and is of grade 3 quality suitable for ploughing.

The total area is about 33.21 acres.
