Beresford House is a handsome Grade II listed Georgian former farmhouse set in about 1.47 acres, combining substantial period accommodation with formal gardens and an adjoining paddock. The house offers generous rooms across three storeys — three reception rooms, a well-equipped kitchen with utility, cellar storage and four double bedrooms — retaining many original features such as sash windows, exposed beams and original fireplaces. The layout and size suit a family seeking character and space in a quiet village setting.
The grounds are a major asset: formal landscaped gardens, a large gravel driveway with ample parking, an extensive paddock of approximately 0.86 acres and a range of outbuildings including a coach house and double garage. These outbuildings and the main house are thought suitable for reconfiguration, redevelopment or conversion into ancillary accommodation, subject to obtaining listed building and planning consents.
Buyers should note material constraints: the property’s Grade II listing will restrict alterations and will make any redevelopment or extension dependent on specialist consents. Fireplaces and chimneys require professional inspection and cleaning before use. Broadband speeds are reported slow (likely FTTC), and council tax sits in the higher band G. While presented in good condition, the house may need sympathetic upgrading and ongoing listed-property maintenance.
This is a rare country opportunity for buyers wanting a large historic home with land — attractive to families seeking space and character, or to purchasers with an interest in sensitive renovation or creating ancillary accommodation. Practical considerations around listed-status consent, services and running costs should be factored into plans and budgets.
