£1.6 million farm with four homes and 47 acres put on the market

​Agents, Watkins Rural, have advertised Holt Farm in Michaelchurch Escley near Hay-on-Wye for sale, and have described the site as a “truly unique offering”. The land has been farmed traditionally and used for livestock grazing, whilst the accommodation has been let out to holiday makers previously. This has been a “successful venture” for the owners for a number of years, with the suite well suited to large group bookings as well as “traditional family stays”. Describing the site, the agents said: “The properties are sat in a traditional courtyard arrangement, with gardens and grounds immediately surrounding, including a traditional orchard. Holt Farmhouse and Holt Barn are Grade 2 listed properties.Read more: “This is a truly unique offering with an abundance of potential, with no planning conditions limiting the properties to holiday lets, it could provide a fantastic site for multi-generational living, or various live/work arrangements.” Holt Farmhouse is a 17th-century property which was the original home on the smallholding, and remains “steeped” in history, with character features having been restored and looked after. The three-bedroom home has a large kitchen-diner, a utility room, a family bathroom and a “pleasant” lounge on the ground floor. Holt Barn is the “showstopper” barn conversion on the site, and is the largest of the dwellings. The open-plan home has a full-height dining area, opening into a lounge situated below a mezzanine bedroom. The Wain House is a “lovely” two-bedroom home situated on the south end of the courtyard. The one-level property has vaulted ceilings throughout. The Stables is connected with the farmhouse, with the agents noting that this space would make ideal accommodation for a young adult.
