Caldicott Farm in the picturesque village of Holme Lacy, near Hereford, is to go up for auction this month, with a guide price of £895,000, in the next live-streamed auction held by SDL Property Auctions, part of Eddisons, on 29 May.
Set in three acres of south Herefordshire countryside, four miles from Hereford and close to the River Wye, the historic property includes a four-bedroomed farmhouse with a two-bedroomed detached cottage, as well as two barns with planning consent for a residential conversion, stables and paddocks.
Believed to date from the early 19th century, the farmhouse still retains a host of its original architectural features, such as exposed timber beams and traditional inglenook fireplaces.
Andrew Parker, partner and auctioneer at SDL Property Auctions, said: “As well as being set in the most glorious countryside, Caldicott Farm really is the epitome of a historic Herefordshire farmhouse. It is bristling with original features and the adjoining stables and paddocks would make it ideal for a horsey family.
“The smartly presented two-bedroom cottage already provides the potential to generate holiday rental income and the opportunity to convert the two substantial barns could present a significant business proposition, either as a tourism venture or as a longer-term let or sale.”
The farmhouse and land are close to Holme Lacy, which has a primary school, village hall and other facilities, as well as being just four miles from the renowned Cottage of Content, a country inn that regularly ranks among the region’s best for Sunday lunches and real ale.
