Set within almost 3 acres of private, landscaped grounds, this hamstone country house blends period character with recent sensitive renovation. Built circa 1840 and recently refreshed, it retains original oak floors, flagstone kitchen and two receptions with wood-burning stoves, while offering contemporary bathrooms and a bespoke dine-in kitchen.
The plot is a major asset: walled gardens, productive kitchen beds, ponds, private woodland and six traditional outbuildings including a workshop with a vehicle lift. These outbuildings provide versatile space for hobbies, classic car storage or potential ancillary accommodation subject to planning permission.
Internally the house is spacious (about 4,110 sq ft) with four bedrooms, two large reception rooms, a formal dining room and a study/home office. The loft is currently unused and offers clear potential for conversion to a principal suite or additional living space, although that would require work and likely planning or building control input.
Buyers should note practical points: the property is heated by oil-fired boiler and is not on a community fuel network; wall insulation is not confirmed for the original sandstone/limestone construction; double-glazing install dates are unknown; and the home sits in Council Tax Band G. Overall, Courthayes will suit those seeking a character country house with significant plot, privacy and scope for further enhancement.
