5 bedroom bungalow for sale

Chalke Valley Trout Farm was previously a productive commercial trout hatchery, however, although now redundant, the property offers a number of potential uses subject to any relevant planning consents required.

On the site lies a substantial, 5 bedroom, detached bunglow offering over 1, 660 sq ft of accommodation which is subject to an Agricultural Occupany Tie - Details available on request - as well as an extensive range of outbuildings offering further space, including a large office with shower and WC.

The property is approached via a seven-bar gate and a sweeping concreted driveway flanked by stock-fenced pasture, providing private parking areas to both the front and rear of the main house. The formal gardens are laid mainly to level lawn—at the front, interspersed with specimen trees and featuring a raised garden pond, and at the rear, including a small terrace accessible from the sitting room, which leads to an attached timber-framed workshop. Arranged predominantly around a rear courtyard, the trout farm includes a large outbuilding incorporating an annexe with a wooden-floored kitchen/sitting room and an office with shower room, a feed store, a second store and a workshop.

Additional outbuildings include a pump room, pump house, generator, brick-built store, a 37-foot open-sided tractor store (available by separate negotiation), extensive hatcheries with troughs, external tanks, further external troughs, and several earth ponds for on-growing, all fed by boreholes. The entire holding is screened by mature trees and enjoys far-reaching views over the surrounding rolling countryside.
