Historic cottage comes with a few acres suitable for the hobby farmer

STANDING for over 250 years and now under a preservation order, this example of our built heritage, as the planners would have it, is up for auction on Wednesday March 5, through John de Courcy of de Courcy Estate Agents.

What makes this sale interesting is that the cottage comes with 55 acres of some excellent agricultural land, but in today’s terms it’s not a viable entity.

While this kind of acreage would have fed and reared families of 12, in our present agricultural environment, this farm would only be suitable as an addition to a larger holding or as a hobby farm.
