Summary - SIX ACRES, 17, THE RIDGEWAY LE7 7LE
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Heated pool, tennis court and separate annexe — designed for grand family living.
Fully refurbished former farmhouse, nearly 6 acres of grounds
A rare, fully refurbished former farmhouse set in just under six acres, this substantial home blends country character with contemporary living. The interior is arranged around an impressive central kitchen and four generous reception rooms, many with high vaulted ceilings and French doors opening onto a large stone terrace facing a south-westerly aspect. The property includes five double bedrooms and three bathrooms, plus utility and boot rooms, offering comfortable family circulation across an almost 4,900 sq ft layout.
Outside the grounds are a principal asset: sweeping lawns and mature trees, a heated outdoor pool with poolside gazebo, a tennis court, detached home office/annexe and a four‑car garage with room over and four-post lift. The house sits within the desirable Ridgeway Conservation Area and is within easy walking distance of the village centre and golf club — comfortable privacy yet convenient for local amenities.
Practical strengths include recent full refurbishment, mains gas central heating, hardwood double glazing and fast broadband. There is also potential for further development: the site formerly comprised three dwellings and reinstatement of two additional units may be possible subject to planning approval.
Considerations: the extensive grounds will require ongoing maintenance and management. Any change of use or additional dwellings would require formal planning consent. For families with school-age children, note one nearby primary (Richard Hill) is rated 'Requires improvement' by Ofsted, though other local primaries and secondary schools are rated Good. The property is offered freehold and chain free, with early viewing recommended for those seeking a large country house with strong entertaining and home-working facilities.
