Description
Lot 2: Farmyard Comprising Traditional and Agricultural Buildings - 3.3 Acres (1.33 Hectares)
To the south of Barfrestone Court is an excellent range of traditional buildings, many of which are in their original state, which is now extremely rare. The buildings are situated around a central courtyard. To the northern side of the courtyard is a single storey building extending to approximately 1,338 square feet, constructed of red brick beneath a slate roof and divided into several sections currently used for the keeping of poultry. Along the western side of the courtyard is another single storey building constructed of yellow brick beneath a slate roof, again divided into sections, some with aesthetically pleasing arched doorways. This building extends to approximately 2,403 square feet and currently comprises a garage/workshop, WC’s and a shower and a range of storage areas.
To the south of the courtyard is a magnificent barn constructed of yellow brick beneath a slate roof with large double height arched openings to the front and rear, along with traditional slit style windows. The barn provides an area of approximately 2,770 square feet and is currently used on an informal basis as a wedding venue. Adjacent to the barn is a smaller two-storey building extending to approximately 454 square feet on the ground floor, currently used for storage.
On the eastern side of the courtyard is a traditional timber framed Kent Barn clad with timber weather board beneath a slate roof, extending to approximately 1,546 square feet, to the south of this is a further storage building constructed of brick and concrete blockwork beneath a slate roof and to the south the remnants of a square kiln oast. To the north of the traditional barn is a range of two-storey buildings constructed of red brick beneath a slate roof, split into different rooms providing approximately 1,719 square feet of floor space on the ground floor and the same above. This range of buildings already benefits from existing openings and windows and could provide ancillary accommodation to the main house (subject to obtaining the necessary consents).
