An attractive Grade II listed farmhouse offering
a fantastic opportunity in a peaceful setting.

Description
Baybridge Farm is a most attractive detached Grade II listed period farmhouse, situated in a peaceful position approximately one mile from the centre of the village, with views over its own land. The property, which is offered for sale either as a whole or in four separate lots, extends to approximately 29.3 acres in total. It benefits from a range of outbuildings suitable for creating a small hobby farm, or alternatively for use alongside the farmhouse as a charming family home in this idyllic rural setting.

The main house provides five-bedroom accommodation of considerable character, with the original building dating from the 18th century, possibly earlier. The property is offered in good decorative order throughout and extends to just under 3,100 sq. Ft., with the double garage adding a further 344 sq. Ft. The garage is constructed of brick and flint beneath a clay tile roof, and there is a 20th-century addition to the rear of the house.

Outside
The house and outbuildings lie opposite one another, with a pretty garden and courtyard between. The outbuildings are significant and have been adapted for a variety of uses over the years. The main range comprises a number of rooms, including a kitchenette, shower room and studios. A staircase leads to a former hayloft/grain store, which offers potential for conversion to further accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents. Adjacent is a covered courtyard leading to stable blocks providing five stables, a tack room and stores. To the rear of the stables is a large greenhouse, which is in good order.

The gardens and grounds are particularly delightful. The formal gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with mature specimen trees and shrubs, and feature a picturesque large pond. There is a charming rear terrace ideal for entertaining, together with an attractive water garden adjoining the conservatory. Beyond the formal gardens, the paddocks include a separate barn and a field shelter within the paddock closest to the property.

There is a further large paddock to the south-east of the house and outbuildings, with Lot One extending in total to approximately 9.57 acres.

Lot Two – Land to the south-east, off Baybridge Lane and adjacent to Baybridge Park, extending to approximately 9.53 acres.

Lot Three – Land off Lower Baybridge Lane, extending to approximately 5.23 acres.

Lot Four – Land to the north-east of Baybridge Farm, off Baybridge Lane, extending to approximately 4.97 acres.
