5 bed detached house for sale

Colletts Farmhouse, Dorsington, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwickshire CV37

Currently extending to about 3,338 square feet, Colletts Farmhouse has a tiled roof with a detached bungalow annexe of about 400 square feet. Colletts Farmhouse is in a poor state of repair and offers a rare opportunity to refurbish the properties or replace with new properties (subject to planning permission), in a mature garden setting.

The current house dates from the mid-20th century and incorporates arched windows and door openings, flagstone floors, ceiling cornices, brick fireplace and chimney breast, gallery landing, east-facing balcony, four reception rooms and a south-facing conservatory, large kitchen with an Aga and a large utility room/second kitchen.

There are five first-floor bedrooms, family bathroom and two en suite shower rooms.

The secluded detached annexe has a living room with kitchen area, bedroom and shower room.

Buyers may be interested in refurbishing the existing dwellings or may consider that the site offers a rare opportunity to obtain planning consent for replacement dwellings to create properties to their own design and requirements, subject to obtaining necessary consents.

Approached through a pair of wrought-iron gates with a block paved drive and ample parking, and a detached double garage with an up-and-over door. The grounds are principally lawned with mature trees and shrubs, including wisteria adorning the farmhouse. Young specimen trees include cedar, birch, lime, purple maple, willow, ash and hornbeam. There is a small enclosed yard with a long greenhouse. Boundary hedges provide considerable privacy.

The former farm buildings to the farmhouse are now the offices and buildings for the Heart of England Forest and are well-screened from the property.

Existing mains electricity and water have been disconnected, and private drainage system. The purchaser will need to create new service connections and install a new sewerage treatment plant. An estimate of £4,500 for reconnecting the electricity supply was obtained in May 2026. Oil-fired central heating (not currently working).
