A rare opportunity to acquire circa 6.33 acres with a purpose built visitor centre and an existing timber clad chalet bungalow (subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition).

Description

Lot 1 - About 6.33 acres with visitor centre and chalet bungalow

Extending to about 6.33 acres, in total, with an impressive visitor centre, a timber clad chalet bungalow (subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition) and about 1.5 acres of planting land.

The visitor centre has been completely refurbished in a contemporary style and is designed as popular tourist attraction with retail outlet, tasting bar and bistro. The manicured approach and outside space add to the draw as you near this striking building, it is an excellent venue for private or corporate events. Whilst there isn’t currently an equipped winery (the wine is made off-site), the open-plan room to the rear of the building is fully set-up with services to accommodate wine making equipment. Sustainability is a key feature and facilities include a ground source heat pump, a Bio-Bubble wastewater treatment plant and rainwater harvesting.

Situated beyond the visitor area is a south facing timber framed and timber clad chalet bungalow (subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition) constructed in 1987 to low energy use specification. It enjoys views over the vineyards and countryside beyond from a timber deck at the rear. The accommodation briefly comprises 2 reception rooms, a spacious kitchen/dining room, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 cloakrooms. The bungalow has recently been subject to refurbishment and enjoys views over the vineyard area to the south.

Beyond the visitor centre and bungalow lies about 1.5 acres of planting area and to the south lies an attractive block of broadleaf woodland, which incorporates a beautiful nature trail and is particularly popular during the bluebell season.
