DESCRIPTION
The Hayloft is a delightful attached barn conversion and annex providing a total of five bedrooms and good-sized character reception rooms. This extensive property once formed part of the Victorian stone buildings which accompanied neighbouring Hayford Hall, an historic moorland manor house that is a supposed venue for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Baskerville Hall. The Hayloft comes with a courtyard of traditional stone barns offering potential, subject to consent.The equestrian facilities include an enclosed stable yard, hay/feed store and tack room. This gives way to some good pasture land, well fenced with a further area of light woodland. The property is close to beautiful open moorland providing superb opportunities for walking and riding.To conclude: Properties of this type do not frequently come onto the market. In an idyllic and peaceful moorland-edge location, this versatile small farm/smallholding would be ideal for a family that enjoys country life, perhaps keeps horses, ponies, or other livestock and seeks a spacious character residence which has income potential from the annex. In addition the outbuildings have conversion possibilities, subject to planning approval.
