Wansford Grange, Wansford, YO25

Wansford Grange offers an extremely rare opportunity to anyone looking for a substantial family house together with land and buildings that offer tremendous potential for conversion and are suitable for a variety of business uses (subject to planning consent).  Having previously been the home of a local haulage business, the buildings and yard are naturally suited to this use however the range of traditional buildings and land also offer the opportunity for tourism use by conversion to holiday cottages and pod accommodation or touring caravan pitches on the land.  The property will also appeal to anyone with equestrian interest and/or hobby farmers.

The existing house offers over 4,000 sq ft of oil centrally heated and double-glazed accommodation (including the garage and stores) and although some areas would benefit from some cosmetic updating, it provides an excellent opportunity for buyers to put their own stamp on it.
