Brief Description

A stunning renovation project of period farmhouse with outbuildings in mature grounds of 2.25 acres (sts) situated in attractive semi rural, yet convenient, location. No chain.

Main Description

Thanacres, set on a quiet lane just outside Briston represents a rare opportunity to acquire a period farmhouse requiring complete renovation, together with 2 barns and a stable block offering conversion possibilities, (subject to planning consent), all set in mature grounds extending to 2.25 acres (subject to survey).

The main house has three/four bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor, while the ground floor comprises, entrance lobby, large sitting room, dining room, farmhouse kitchen, scullery and rear porch. There are many period details throughout and the attached brick and flint barn offers huge scope for further accommodation to the main house.

The grounds extending to 2.25 acres are currently configured as a smallholding with areas under vegetable and soft fruit cultivation with productive orchard areas, rough paddock/wild flower meadow and formal garden. This exciting opportunity would suit various commercial or leisure uses and has equestrian potential but might equally suit a family seeking space and a quiet lifestyle.

Thanacres is to be sold with vacant possession and no onward chain.
