The Farmstead is a recently renovated Grade II listed farmhouse set in approx. 1.3 acres of paddock and private garden. Inside, vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and a dramatic open-plan kitchen/dining/lounge create a light, sociable heart for family living. A separate wing houses a versatile home office with a shower room that can function as a fourth bedroom.
Practical features include secure electric gates, block-paved drive with timber carport and off-street parking for several vehicles. The house is offered freehold and has modernised bathrooms and a high-spec kitchen, yet retains period touches such as sash windows and stone elevations.
Important considerations: listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate future works or extensions. Heating is oil-fired with boiler and radiators, and the original sandstone walls are assumed uninsulated — further insulation works could be required. The interior footprint is modest (approx. 847 sq ft) compared with the large plot, and council tax is above average. Local area indicators show higher crime and relative deprivation despite the village’s peaceful setting.
This property suits buyers seeking characterful country living with substantial outdoor space and strong on-site privacy. It will particularly appeal to families or those wanting a country base with flexible work-from-home accommodation, but purchasers should factor in listed-building obligations and potential energy-efficiency upgrade costs.
