Here’s a property that comes with a side opportunity of a total life overhaul.
For a chill £2million, yes, you could get a lovely three-bedroom period farmhouse, but along with it you’d get the chance for a new career – oh, and a fishery, equestrian facilities, a cattery, a cafe, a tackle and bait shop, a log cabin, and around 1,000 Christmas trees.
Now that’s a deal.
Solhampton Farm, in Astley, Stourport-on-Severn, is on sale for the first time in 35 years, and extends over 60.28 acres.
It’s got a bunch of potential income streams built in.
You could run a cat hotel, focus in on the fishing community, – the farmhouse overlooks lakes and has seven pools – turn the cafe and canteen into a restaurant, start a horseriding school, let out the cabins, run a Christmas tree business, or do all of the above.
Shall we talk you through all the key components of the holding?
So, first, you’ve got the farmhouse. This is impressive enough in itself, offering around 4,004 sq ft of internal space across two floors and an annexe.
On the ground floor of the main house is an entrance hall, a sitting room, a study, a large kitchen and breakfast room, a store room (it is a farmhouse, after all), a utility area, a shower room, and a second drawing room.
Go up a level and you’ll find three bedrooms – one with an en suite – and a bathroom with a free-standing tub.
The annexe has all you’d need; a massive sitting room, a kitchen, two bedrooms, and a shower room. There’s access to a loft room, too, so do with that what you wish.
So that’s the house, but then you’ve got a whole load of other stuff on the expansive farmland.
The equestrian facilities include a stable yard, indoor and outdoor schools, American barn stabling, a lunge pen, and turn out paddocks – everything a horse lover could ask for.
The cattery isn’t currently operational, but has cosy cabins for as many feline pals as you fancy.
There’s a course fishery for anglers with seven pools, along with a tackle and bait shop.
There’s even a large canteen/cafe space that has massive potential for whatever renovation dreams you may have.
Dotted around the farm are plenty of outbuildings, including storage, workshops, and commercial units you can let out.
And yes, there’s a coppice of around 1,000 Christmas trees, along with an adorable log cabin you could rent out as a very festive stay.
All of this is on lush greenery with lake views, so it’s seriously tempting for any citydwellers who have long dreamed of ditching their job and embracing countryside life.
