- Grassland Farm
- Small Holding
- Development / Diversification Potential
- Breath-taking Scenery
Alston and Stanhope are both busy market towns with an array of local shops and supermarkets. In addition, both towns and local villages have numerous pubs, hotels and tea rooms. Wearhead has a primary school with secondary schools located in nearby Wolsingham and Alston. In terms of healthcare, there is a doctor's surgery located in St Johns Chapel, whilst there is a cottage hospital in Alston and community hospital in Stanhope. Both towns have veterinary surgeries.
Lot 1 - Westfall Farm Includes the farmhouse, the steading and approximately 7.42 acres of land, including the 0.97 ha (2.41 ac) of woodland. In addition, Lot 1 also includes a small single bank stretch of the River Wear which significantly adds to the amenity appeal of the property.
The land included is well sited being either side of the property and would be ideally suited to equine and/small holder purposes, with the buildings aiding such a use. In addition, the location of the land adjacent to the main road, yet in a secluded and stunning location would lend itself for diversification opportunities.
Farmhouse The farmhouse accommodation briefly comprises a traditional farmhouse kitchen with feature stone flagged floor and a Rayburn and a downstairs reception room, to the first floor there are three bedrooms and a bathroom. The farmhouse is in reasonable condition but would benefit from modernisation.
Buildings The traditional buildings are immediately to the rear of the farmhouse and provide an ideal opportunity to extend the dwelling. Any extensions would require the necessary consents been sought. Given the number of buildings, there would still be ample to continue with their original use, be it agricultural or equine.
