Postponed

Ouse Bank Farm, New Road, Great Barford, Bedfordshire, MK44 3LH

*Guide Price | £190,000+ (plus fees)

Requiring refurbishment and also offering an excellent opportunity to enlarge, this detached farmhouse is in a rural location just outside a picturesque village.

This detached 20th century house is centrally positioned within a square shaped plot of approximately 0.16 acres, alongside New Road and two portal frame barns which are part of the adjacent farm. The house is subject to an agricultural occupancy restriction (details will be included within the legal pack) and it is in poor condition, consequently it requires refurbishment and with ground to all four sides, there is room to significantly enlarge the building, subject to any necessary consents.
