4 bedroom country house for sale

Set within approximately 1.75 acres, Torton Farm is a substantial detached country home offering generous accommodation, extensive outbuildings and exceptional scope for modernisation and improvement. Located in a semi-rural setting near Hartlebury, the property presents a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a renovation project with additional development potential. The house itself offers well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors, including several reception rooms and four bedrooms. While the property would now benefit from comprehensive updating, it provides a strong footprint and flexible layout ideal for those wishing to create a superb contemporary family home. The ground floor includes a spacious family kitchen and breakfast room, together with a separate dining room, generous lounge with garden views and a bright garden room overlooking the grounds. Additional practical spaces include a utility room, freezer room and further storage areas, providing versatility for modern family living. To the first floor are four bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with ensuite, together with a family bathroom. Extensive loft storage also offers potential for further use, subject to the necessary consents. Externally the property is approached via a tree-lined driveway leading to ample parking, garaging and a range of outbuildings. The gardens extend to generous lawned areas and paved terraces, together with a swimming pool enclosure, currently unused but offering scope for restoration. Torton Farm presents a compelling development opportunity, underpinned by a Class Q prior approval application (Ref: W/25/01085/GPDQ) submitted on 20th May 2025, just ahead of the subsequent changes to Class Q legislation. Importantly, the property already benefits from approved consent for a substantial single barn conversion of approximately 4,000 sq ft, secured under the previous, more favourable planning rules. While current Class Q regulations now restrict new applications for large-scale conversions, they do allow for smaller residential units. As a result, a purchaser has valuable flexibility: they can proceed with the approved large, single dwelling, or explore the potential-subject to further application-for reconfiguration into two or three smaller units under the updated legislation. This dual-option potential significantly enhances the appeal and value of Torton Farm, with the barn conversion representing a key opportunity for development uplift and future return. Further outbuildings include garaging and a triple-bay car port, while two paddocks lie beyond the main gardens, making the property well suited to those seeking a smallholding, equestrian or lifestyle use.
