Subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents, the traditional buildings at Little Wiggington Farm offer potential in the agent's opinion for conversion to residential use. Current planning policy allows for the conversion of agricultural buildings into residential dwellings subject to specific criteria being met. Prospective purchasers wishing to pursue this should obtain advice from qualified planning professionals or speak with the selling agent for further information.

The land is sold subject to all wayleaves, public or private rights of way, easements and covenants whether specifically mentioned in the sales particulars or not. We are informed that a public footpath runs from south to north across the orchard area near the western end of the property.
