PROPERTY West Milton Farm is a charming residential farm positioned in a peaceful and secluded location. The two residential properties consist of West Milton Farmhouse and Cornflower Cottage. The two houses share a private sweeping drive and a turning circle which provides ample parking for both dwellings.
WEST MILTON FARMHOUSE West Milton Farmhouse is a large five/six bedroom thatched dwelling full of character and measures in excess of 3,700 square feet.
To the ground floor it benefits from a light and airy kitchen/breakfast room which overlooks the rear garden. This room is particularly spacious and provides a focal point for the house. Additionally, there is a living, dining, and games room, utility, snug, and art room, as well as a study/downstairs bedroom. The entire ground floor is tiled throughout.
There are two staircases which lead up to the first floor. Upstairs there is a family bathroom, as well as five further bedrooms, two of which are en-suite. One of the en-suite bedrooms is situated at the gable end of the house and benefits from a recently upgraded balcony which has pleasant sea views. The other en-suite bedroom also has a dressing room.
Outside, there is a private rear garden which can be accessed around the side of the property, or via the French doors leading directly from the kitchen. The garden is relatively level and consists of lawn and an area of patio. At the bottom of the garden (and also with separate access from the drive) are a set of stables which have internal and external lighting.
CORNFLOWER COTTAGE Cornflower Cottage is a spacious secondary dwelling, comprising four bedrooms (three of which are en-suite, whilst the other is currently used as a store), kitchen and a large double-height living/reception room with vaulted ceiling.
The cottage could be used to provide further accommodation for family, or alternatively it could be let to provide a source of additional income (subject to any necessary consents or MEES compliance works). A favourable response has previously been received to a pre-application which considered splitting the cottage into two dwellings.
Additionally, a purchaser might wish to consider installing a first floor above the living/reception room (subject to any necessary consents) to expand the overall floor area and provide further living space.
AGRICULTURAL BUILDINGS Within lot 1, there are two useful agricultural buildings. Both buildings benefit from an electricity and water connection.
The largest building is an enclosed five bay steel portal frame building, with concrete floor, part concrete walls and timber Yorkshire boarding above. This building also includes a small shed which houses a WC and wash hand basin.
The second building is divided into two and is currently used to store hay and straw, as well as for keeping livestock. This building also houses the pump and filtration unit associated with the borehole water supply.
LAND The whole farm extends to approximately 48.77 acres (19.74 hectares) in total. The land is mostly pasture, with an area of woodland to the south amounting to in the region of seven acres. The land has recently been used to keep horses, Shetland ponies, pigs and chickens.
The land nearest the dwellings and agricultural buildings is currently arranged to provide a range of smaller enclosures/paddocks.
Across the whole farm, there are 11 field shelters (10 of which have stone hardstanding) which are included as part of the sale. The round pen within lot 1, which measures approximately 50ft in diameter and 8ft in height is also included in the sale.

The next steps...
1
Establish funds
How will you fund the purchase?
Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.
Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.
To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.
They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.
However advantages of working with your bank are:
You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
