Available to the open market for some considerable time is this wonderful former farmstead positioned in a wonderful part of the Island within the privately owned Hamstead Estate, which is around 10 minutes drive to the Historic Harbourside town of Yarmouth.
The property extends to around 0.747 acres, which consists of a cluster of good sized barns/buildings together with a characterful period cottage offering a new owner a significant opportunity to develop this plot further and create the ideal rural property.
Pigeon Coo Farmhouse comprises a two storey, one-bedroom semi-detached house with a large south facing sitting room/diner on the ground floor with a substantial adjoining timber framed barn with considerable charm. On the north side of the house is a large lawn and further barn. There is a fireplace in the sitting room and a bathroom with WC and wash hand basin on the first floor. The cottage would benefit from some modernisation and offers huge potential – it does benefit from double glazing.
LAND The plot is level and extends to approximately 0.747 acre. There is the option to acquire more land by separate negotiation. Additional land would be adjacent woodland or permanent pasture located within 50m of the property.
