About Manor House Farm This is a rare opportunity for the next owner to renovate this property for their own occupation or perhaps to redevelop the existing buildings and yard into additional properties. Buyers would be advised to consider the current “Grey Belt” planning legislation when investigating this. A driveway from Barnsley Road leads down through the front garden area to a courtyard beside the house and buildings. The existing farmhouse is stone fronted with brick side and rear elevations. We are informed by our client that it replaced a larger historic dwelling on the site – being the original “manor house”. The farmhouse has not been occupied for many years and has suffered from some structural movement and will require extensive works to bring it back into habitation. It currently comprises, entrance hall, 2 reception rooms, kitchen, bathroom, store, landing and 3 first floor bedrooms. Across the yard at the rear of the farmhouse, there is a large stone built barn with a date stone of 1886. This has been extended by the addition of a brick garage and a large workshop at the rear. There is also another substantial open fronted barn nearby, this is of brick construction on 3 sides and a partial concrete floor. The grounds surrounding the buildings feature mature gardens, with trees and space for parking a number of vehicles. Beyond this there is a block of additional land surround the buildings on 3 sides with an additional boundary and entrance to Cooper Lane and a small area of woodland. The successful purchaser will also have the opportunity to purchase an additional block of agricultural land amounting to approximately 13.5 acres by separate negotiation. Note that this will not be offered for sale on the open market unless not required by the purchaser of the main property.
