Prospect House Farm

Available on the open market for the first time in some 90 years, Prospect House Farm is a ‘stand-alone’ farmhouse dating from circa 1850.

The current owners extended the house in 1975, which comprises the existing kitchen / breakfast room with rear pantry and cloakroom. The adjacent dining room is part of a slightly earlier addition (about 1890) which leads through to the original part of the house, forming the twin aspect sitting room. The first floor offers three bedrooms and a bathroom which all provide delightful views over the grounds and countryside beyond.

The property occupies a wonderful rural setting, with the house set to the north-west of its immediate grounds of about 2.5 acres consisting of a grazing paddock fronting a minor country lane (Stackwood Road). Immediately to the east of the house are a range of outbuildings of varying ages; the first being a dilapidated timber frame and weatherboarded barn (built around 1900) with a further modern timber frame outbuilding comprising two lock-up stores / garaging. Adjacent to the front parking area is a brick and tile outbuilding.

Beyond a field boundary of oak trees with a natural pond is a further agricultural enclosure providing an additional 4.48 acres which is clearly defined by field hedges native trees of predominately oak. In all, the property covers some 7.27 acres.
