Full Details for 5 Bedroom Detached for sale in Corby, NN17 :
A rare opportunity to purchase a historical farmhouse located in the heart of the popular Northamptonshire village of Harringworth. Within the grounds lies a large original detached stone barn with huge potential for conversion, subject to the correct planning permission. The current owners of Limes Farm have engaged a local firm of architects to establish, through liaison with the Local Planning Authority, the principle for converting and extending the existing listed barn to form a separate dwelling as seen in the artist impressions. For further information please contact the Fine & Country Stamford office. Farm House & Grounds:Built of local stone in 1661, Limes Farm is one of the oldest and most significant properties within the village of Harringworth. It is an imposing country residence and with its extensive range of converted outbuildings offers flexible options for both accommodation and business opportunities. The charming Grade II listed house retains much of its heritage and original character with period features such as inglenook fireplaces, stone mullioned windows, latch-handled solid wood doors and ancient timberwork. Modern additions include the stunning oak framed Orangery which provides an open plan living area/kitchen/dining, double glazed windows throughout and refitted bathrooms, whilst the conversion of the old stables into a self-contained annexe, and a barn into offices have developed the size and potential of the property. Outside, Limes Farm sits in approximately five acres of grounds with a pretty courtyard garden at its heart, plus various sheltered areas of lawn, a small orchard stocked with a variety of apple trees and a plum tree, vegetable garden with raised beds and Gabriel Ash Greenhouse and a lightly wooded meadow with tailored pathways for peaceful strolls, bristling with nature. The property excellently combines period interest with the flexible accommodation suited to family and working life.
