Historic £750,000 Selston farmhouse and annexe has Airbnb potential
One of the most fascinating properties on the market is this Selston farmhouse, steeped in history and blessed with stables, paddock, courtyard and even an annexe with Airbnb potential.
Toll Bar Farm on Annesley Lane was built in the late 1800s and has a special relevance because tolls were collected here for the maintenance and upkeep of the local area.
In 2003, planning permission was granted for a barn conversion, retaining the original walls and stone.
It was completed in 2006 and now, it is for sale with London-based estate agents eXp (East Midlands) who have attached a price tag of £750,000.

Set on an acre of land, the main four-bedroom, three-bathroom barn is immaculately presented.
The interior also boasts four reception rooms (living room, sitting room, playroom and office (or bedroom), while the open courtyard outside is a private, tranquil space that can be used all year round.
Double doors open on to it from the living room and kitchen, and it has been used to host wedding celebrations, birthday parties and family gatherings.
At one end of the kitchen is space for a breakfast table, with chandelier lighting above. Not far away is a utility room with a wall-mounted boiler, more storage units and space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. Credit:

In recent years, two garages have been extended and converted into the annexe, consisting of a kitchen diner, living room, shower room and bedroom.
Currently inhabited by a relative, it could also be used as an office, a teenager‘s hideout or, better still, an opportunity for a short-term Airbnb holiday home, earning the family some income.
