DESCRIPTION Bolham House Farm is a delightful, exceptionally well managed and maintained poultry farm which offers elements of flexibility and multiple income opportunities. The non listed 4 bedroom family home provides good sized living accommodation set on the Eastern boundary of the farm. The detached, late Victorian style farmhouse has a natural slate roof, part brick, part rendered construction and the house was extended about 10 years ago with the addition of a highly attractive oak framed garden room with double glazing throughout. In recent years, the farm has diversified into renewables by means of the installation of solar panels and biomass boilers where production is utilised on the farm and also produces additonal income.

ACCOMMODATIONThe farmhouse is entered through French doors into the impressive, full width oak framed garden room with natural terracotta floor tiles and under floor heating. Central hallway with door to the left opening to sitting room with an oil fired log burner in a pretty fireplace with a large window looking into the garden room.

The kitchen is fitted with bespoke units under granite work surfaces, an AGA and natural floor tiles. Beyond the kitchen is a utility and a rear wet room and w/c.
