Set on about 2.95 acres with paddocks, stables and multiple outbuildings, this Victorian brick farmhouse suits buyers seeking an equestrian base or smallholding. The house offers four good-sized bedrooms, two reception rooms and a traditional breakfast kitchen with an oil-fired AGA. Its elevated rural position delivers private, far-reaching countryside views and a secluded, quiet setting.
The property requires updating throughout: cosmetic and systems overhaul is needed, insulation is likely absent in the solid brick walls and the EPC is rated F. Heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators; purchasers should budget for energy-efficiency improvements and potential heating upgrades. Broadband is slow and the drainage is private, which may influence connectivity and running costs.
Externally the site is a strong selling point: a concrete yard with turning circle, long driveway, off-street parking and open garage. A range of useful outbuildings includes two brick stables, workshop, equipment/livestock shed and storage, plus a well-wooded copse and vegetable garden. There is clear scope to extend or reconfigure (subject to planning) to increase living space or upgrade facilities for livestock.
Practical drawbacks to note are the single family bathroom, medium flood risk, council tax band E and the need for renovation which will require time and budget. The village-edge location remains conveniently commutable to the A50 and nearby towns, making it practical for buyers wanting rural living without complete isolation.
