Introduction Heale Farm is a versatile and productive stock and arable farm. It is being offered for sale as a whole or in up to 9 lots. The principal farmhouse is an attractive 5 bedroom family home, converted to a high standard, and is attached to a large stone barn which has planning consent to be converted into 2 dwellings. A 3 bedroom barn conversion requiring some modernisation sits on the opposite side of the courtyard. To the rear of the traditional courtyard is a range of modern style farm buildings, suitable for a livestock enterprise, which are available if the farm is sold as a whole. Alternatively, if the farm is sold in lots, it is likely that the modern farm buildings will be demolished in order to protect and enhance the environment for the residential properties and to avoid concern over conflicting neighbouring land uses.
