Description
Agricultural stone and block building measuring 272 square metres with adjoining paddock extending to 0.75 acres (0.30 hectares) in total
The Building - The Old Barn offers an exciting opportunity in a desirable location. This agricultural building has previously been used to store farm machinery, presenting a unique development opportunity, subject to obtaining planning permission. It is constructed of stone and block elevations under a clay tiled roof, extending to 272 square metres. It comprises a U-shaped building divided into three main sections internally, with a further two sections accessed externally, with existing door and window openings throughout.
The Paddock - Adjoining The Old Barn is a single parcel of gently sloping pasture land extending to 0.39 acres (0.16 hectares). The land is enclosed by a mix of mature hedgerows and stockproof fencing and is well suited to a range of uses.
Situation - The property benefits from a right of way access over a trackway leading directly from Clifton Hill, as per the shaded brown area on the sale plan.
There is also gated access from Clifton Hill and a right of way over the adjoining land set to the southeast of The Old Barn. Please see the legal pack for further information.
The location benefits from peaceful countryside surroundings, characterised by gently undulating farmland and views across open fields. Clifton Maybank has a small population and retains historic charm, centred around the Grade I listed Clifton House, built in the mid-16th century. Clifton Maybank lies approximately one mile southwest of the village of Bradford Abbas and about three miles southeast of Yeovil, offering excellent access to local amenities and transport links, such as the A37, A30 and A303.
