Overview
Bruton Knowles has been instructed to offer by freehold sale a small portfolio of properties situated adjacent to the picturesque Owlpen Valley.
The portfolio comprises four distinct properties which include a Cotswold stone, three-bedroom house; woodyard; three-bedroom cottage set within a Listed stable yard; and arable land. The four lots are arranged broadly within a ring fence separated only by the B4058 Bath Road. The properties are situated in such a way that they are available for sale in lots, a combination of lots, or as a whole portfolio.
Lot 1
A traditional Cotswold stone house with later alterations, situated to the west of its own 3.30 acre plot. The accommodation is arranged over two floors with a country kitchen/breakfast room, pantry, sitting room, entrance hall, and downstairs bathroom to the ground floor and three bedrooms and family bathroom to the first floor. A well sized garage adjoins the property and is accessible both externally and via the inside of the house. Owlpen Lodge offers tremendous scope for further modernisation or extension of the living space to create an attractive family home set within over 3 acres of its own land. It should be noted that the property is not listed.
Outside, a long surfaced driveway provides direct access from the adjacent road. Small areas of lawn extend around the house with a collection of mature trees to the north. The pasture extends to the east of the property and comprises approximately 3 acres of level grass with far reaching viewings over the adjacent farmland. Separate vehicular access to the land is possible via a field gate to the southwest corner of the field.
Lot 2
The buildings comprise: A 3 bay open sided pole barn; a 6 bay steel portal framed building with Yorkshire board cladding; a 6 bay Atcost building with adjoining pole framed lean-to on each side; and several smaller wooden structures. The yard and buildings provide scope for continued use, conversion to residential, or diversification into activities such as equine, storage, or light industrial (subject to planning consent).
The woodyard is currently occupied by a firewood producer under a contracted out commercial lease. The yard is sold freehold, subject to the current tenancy. Further details are available from the vendor's agent.
Lot 3
The land comprises just over 25 acres of undulating arable land in a single parcel. The land gently dips towards the bordering wood on its western boundary with a small band of mature woodland running the length of its eastern boundary along the B4058. This band of woodland is occupied by Raffles Forest School and is not included in the sale.
Access to the land can be taken via the surfaced access track situated off the B4058, leading to a field gate located in the southeast corner of the field. Alternatively, a right of way over the adjacent woodland occupied by Raffles Forest School has been retained, providing a second direct access point onto the B4058.
The land is currently entered into a Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) agreement. Further details are available from the selling agent.
Lot 4
Stable Cottage forms part of a turreted Cotswold stone stable yard and forms part of the original staff accommodation associated with the former mansion. The property is constructed of Cotswold stone under a slate roof with attractive stone mullioned windows. The property is terraced between No. 1 Stable Cottage (in separate ownership) and the stable outbuildings.
Internally the accommodation briefly comprises; dining room, kitchen, sitting room, cloakroom/W.C., two double bedrooms, a third single bedroom, study, and family bathroom.
The Stable Cottage outbuildings are attached to Stable Cottage and comprise a range of ornate Cotswold stone stables and coach houses. The stables and coach houses retain most of their original features including internal stable partitions, doors and flooring. Incorporating the loft of the stable block, the buildings offer approximately 3,800 sq ft of unconverted space prime for residential conversion, subject to gaining planning consent. Overall, the site sits within approximately 3.5 acres of pasture and woodland.
