Description
Little Paddocks is an attractive south-facing traditional farmhouse in an unspoilt, peaceful and private setting, at the end of a long treelined drive, amidst beautiful rolling farmland. The house itself is a traditional Cotswold stone farmhouse attached to a one-bedroom self-contained annex. Internally, Little Paddocks is well presented and of considerable character and charm, blending the comforts of modern living within a period stone construction. Extending, in total, to a little over 2750 sq ft, the accommodation is set over two floors with a large sitting room, a wonderful open plan kitchen, dining and family room, study and dining room.
On the first floor there are three bedrooms, a shower room and bathroom.
The Annex
Attached to the house, the annex has its own private entrance and parking that makes it ideal as a self-contained holiday let, Air BnB or for guests. Set over two floors, this charming space offers a kitchen/dining room and a bathroom on the ground floor with stairs rising to a living room adjoining a bedroom area on the first floor. For many years this has provided a reliable and regular income stream for the current owner as an AST let.
The Land and Buildings:
There are three outbuildings that form the estate of Little Paddocks all of which are set apart from the main house giving privacy should a prospective buyer wish to separate the land and outbuildings. The larger of the two agricultural barns is set closest to Little Paddocks and has been used predominantly for storage and the other, is positioned deeper into the plot with its own driveway. This sits adjacent to a former poultry barn, this extensive space has planning granted for two disabled holiday accommodation units with internal connectivity. The buildings are in good condition and would be suitable for alternative usage including equestrian facilities, a classic car enthusiast or for significant development subject to appropriate consents. Additional features include ample parking and well-planned storage throughout.
Land
Little Paddocks is accessed via a long treelined driveway which provides for privacy and seclusion, the driveway passes the main house and continues to the poultry and agricultural barn. The ringfenced estate is in excellent condition having been well maintained by the current owners. The two agricultural barns provide an opportunity for development along with the planning that has been granted for the former poultry barn.
