WHITEBRIDGE FARM
Originally a farm created by Lord Grosvenor for the production of cheese in 1872, Whitebridge Farm has been developed into a successful self catering holiday cottage business centred around a substantial Victorian Farmhouse. Constructed of red brick under a slate tile roof, the farmhouse has been modernised and improved by the current vendors whilst retaining much of its original character and charm. Extending to some 5,110 ft² the property offers spacious accommodation arranged on 2 floors with the benefit of a wine cellar.

WHITEBRIDGE FARM (CONT)
Whilst the farmhouse is currently arranged as one dwelling there is potential to reinstate The Cheese House which forms a substantial wing of the main house into a separate self contained dwelling to offer a further holiday cottage or annexe for relatives. Approached over a sweeping drive, the property is set back in its own courtyard setting and enjoys a lawned frontage, softened by mature trees with herbaceous borders. There is a private lawned garden to the western elevation with some mature woodland and a large pond that was created by the extraction of clay, which was used to make bricks for the farm buildings on site. Beyond the gardens is approximately 7 acres of level pasture within a ring fence. The land is divided into a number of smaller enclosures and includes a strip of mature woodland to the western boundary.
