Willows Farm represents an unusual prospect in the market, providing prospective purchasers with the opportunity to acquire a contemporary barn conversion together with a range of farm buildings, suitable for a number of uses (subject to planning).
The residential property, often described as 'The Dome' offers extensive accommodation over two floors. It was designed to incorporate an annexe on the ground floor but could be remodelled to suit the purchasers requirements.
The property includes a range of farm buildings including a building used for stabling, a Dutch barn and a former grain store. The area to the south of the buildings is laid to grass and could be used as a grazing paddock.
The Dome was converted from a former agricultural building to a dwelling following consent under the General Permitted Development Order in 2017. The design incorporates large areas of glazing on the eastern elevation, giving far reaching views over open countryside from the first floor bedroom. The extensive accommodation has been occupied as a main dwelling with an integral annexe and the gardens have been divided accordingly. Prospective purchasers could continue with this arrangement or remodel the layout and outside space to create one larger dwelling.
The accommodation, which has been imaginatively incorporated into the dome of the building, includes a large open plan kitchen, living and dining area, three bathrooms and four bedrooms in the main part of the house together with an additional kitchen, shower room, sitting room and bedroom in the annexe.

How It Works: Unconditional Timed Auction Online: This is a binding method of sale similar to a traditional public property auction. The only difference is the bidding takes place online. The successful purchaser will be required to pay a 10% deposit (subject to a minimum payment of £5,000) on the fall of the virtual gavel and contracts will be exchanged. Bidding for properties online works in a similar fashion to eBay. You can place bids using your PC, tablet or mobile phone and the minimum amount you can bid is defined by the 'bid increment' level. When you place a bid, the property listing page will show you if your bid was successful and whether or not you are the highest bidder. When you are the highest bidder on a property, if another bidder outbids you the system will notify you by email so that you can place another bid if you wish. The major difference from eBay is that our system eradicates sudden death 'bid sniping' through the use of auction 'extension times'. If you have any questions or require any clarification please contact the auctioneer.

By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
