Grade-II listed farmhouse of ‘historical interest’ to go under hammer

A Grade-II listed farmhouse, which was significantly damaged in a fire, is to go under the hammer this month, with a guide price of £475,000+.

Spout House is thought to date from 1545 with additions in 1678 and a cottage built prior to 1423, as well as a large stone cow shed, all of which are set in a freehold site of 1.3-acres of land.

Adrian Little, head of the auction department at Mark Jenkinson and Son, said: “The Grade-II listed house of historical interest on Spout Lane was damaged by a fire in 2016 which tragically led to the deaths of its two elderly residents.

“Located on the fringe of Stannington adjoining open countryside, the farmhouse is in a very poor state of repair but would suit a buyer looking for a large-scale refurbishment project.

“The site lies within an area adopted as ‘Residential’ within the adopted Unitary Development Plan for Sheffield and part of the site is thought to be suitable for what could be an exclusive residential development, subject to the required consents.”

Other Sheffield properties up for sale include a three-level student village on Norfolk Park Road with a guide price of £100,000–£110,000, and a freehold investment with total income £50,000 comprising Andrews Café and adjoining retail premises in the city centre with a guide price of £475,000+.

The former pub the Frecheville Hotel in Sheffield, with accommodation over three levels and lapsed planning for residential, will be offered at a low reserve for £30,000, while a former church in Bircotes, Doncaster, with permission in principle for the erection of two to four dwellings, will also go under the hammer.

The Mark Jenkinson and Son auction will be held on Tuesday 26 February at 2pm at The Platinum Suite, Sheffield United Football Club.
