Full Description: Versatile and offering an excellent opportunity! Dating from the 1600's and standing proud as the main house to the original farm steading, is Swinburn Farm. With 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the current vendor, in more recent years developed the neighbouring barn. Swinburn Barn was originally incorporated into the main farmhouse, providing one substantial dwelling, then separated into its own residence with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, complete with garden and parking.The nature in which the properties were split, affords the opportunity for an easy incorporation of Swinburn Barn back into Swinburn Farm once more, should the desire be to utilise both properties as one dwelling. As they currently stand, the properties would be ideal for multi-generational living, or as the current owner has done, use one as a super letting property. In addition to the properties themselves, the land which forms part of the acquisition would be ideal for those looking to obtain a home which would lend itself to an equestrian or small holding lifestyle.Swinburn Farm - This attractive property is a generously proportioned home, which briefly comprises entrance hall, pantry (former dairy), ground floor WC, a set of stairs to the first floor where the principal bedroom and a bathroom can be found. Continuing to the ground floor there is a beautiful living room, spacious dining room with study, kitchen, and rear hallway with a shower room and boiler/utility room. Off the dining room there is a second staircase, giving access to three further bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. It is worth noting that there is a concealed doorway between Bedrooms 1 and 3, allowing direct access between the two rooms.Swinburn Barn - A beautiful and sympathetic barn conversion, the accommodation sits over three levels, with the elevated position affording stunning rural views. The accommodation briefly comprises entrance utility, kitchen with dining area, ground floor shower room, bedroom, first floor living room with additional mezzanine level, ideal as a study or hobby area, and a further bedroom to the second floor with ensuite facilities.Grounds - in addition to the properties themselves, there is an undercover car port, two barns/outhouses (former farm buildings), a substantial summer house, low maintenance gardens and raised patio with offroad driveway parking for several vehicles.Land - Two paddocks form part of the property, which extend to circa 8.4 acres.
