A rare Grade II-listed farmhouse dating from the 14th century, Parley Beams offers substantial period character across approx. 4,390 sq ft and sits in about 10 acres including a lake, woods and extensive lawns. The property retains many original features, very high ceilings and generously proportioned rooms, making it an exceptional canvas for restoration or a sympathetic country estate rebuild.
This is a project property: the house needs comprehensive renovation and modernisation throughout. The listed status will impose restrictions and likely raise costs and administrative complexity for structural changes, services upgrades and any extensions. Practical details such as council tax are unknown and should be confirmed before purchase.
Set in a quiet village with low crime and fast broadband, the setting suits a buyer seeking privacy, land and heritage — whether an investor, developer or experienced private owner who can manage a major restoration. The sweeping driveway, mature hedging, lake and woodland add clear lifestyle and commercial potential (e.g., equestrian, private retreat, or holiday use subject to consents).
Buyers should factor in listed-building consenting, specialist conservation work and ongoing maintenance of a large plot. The property offers strong long-term value if you are prepared for substantial restoration work and regulatory constraints that come with a protected historic building.
