3 bedroom farm house

Presented in good order, Luggards Cross Farm is believed to date back to the 1800’s and has been a much-loved family home for the past 29 years. Set in an attractive location with grounds extending to approx. 1.6 acres the original farmhouse has 3 double bedrooms and ground floor accommodation including a kitchen, 2 more formal reception rooms and plenty of practical rooms including a boot room and utility. Additionally, arranged around a rear courtyard are stone and tile outbuildings that offer tremendous scope to convert. The house also has potential to build above the kitchen and convert the spacious attic, all subject to any necessary planning permissions.

Outbuildings

There are over 1,541sq ft of separate outbuildings which are attractively arranged around a courtyard to the rear of the property.

The gardens, primarily located at the front of the property, feature lawned areas enclosed by stone walls and a number of mature trees, including maple, apple, pear, and walnut.
