With agricultural land in Gloucestershire in high demand, rural property specialists Bruton Knowles report ‘brisk interest’ in Rock Farm near the popular village of Westbury-on-Severn.
Rock Farm comprises the Grade II listed, nineteenth-century farmhouse along with outbuildings and land amounting to around 15 acres.
Julian Capewell, of Bruton Knowles, describes the farmhouse as offering six bedrooms, a family kitchen, a dining room, two large living rooms and other accommodation arranged over three storeys.
It has remained untouched for some time and so retains a wide range of period features including flagstone and oak floors, open fireplaces, beams and a stained glass window on the ground floor.
The outbuildings include a two-storey barn, a covered yard, a cow shed and block-built pens adjoining 15 acres of pasture land.
“Although the farmhouse, and more particularly the outbuildings, are in need of some renovation and modernisation, Rock Farm represents an ideal opportunity for those looking to expand their property portfolio – and stay within the general area of the city of Gloucester,” Capewell continues.
“(It) also offers considerable scope for restoration and conversion, subject to the usual planning conditions. As well as the range of buildings there is also an enclosed garden, vegetable patch and pond.”
And, given the buoyant market, Rock Farm will also be of interest to those looking to take advantage of rapidly rising land values.
“The market continues to recover lost ground with farmers and landowners who have previously sold land for development finding that reinvesting in agricultural land offers the most reliable returns.”
Rock Farm is for sale by informal tender. Best offers should be submitted by Friday 13th March 2015.
