Rake House is a substantial, newly renovated period home set in the heart of Burton Village. Dating from around 1700, the property combines original features — exposed beams, fireplaces and a reclaimed slate roof — with a full modernisation including new kitchen, bathrooms, boiler, central heating and a complete rewire. The house sits on about 0.75 acres with mature gardens, a large courtyard, pond, detached stone barn with mezzanine and separate office/store buildings, offering extensive garaging and storage.
The accommodation is family-friendly: two generous reception rooms, a kitchen-breakfast room, garden room and sun room on the ground floor, with five bedrooms (one en suite) and a family bathroom upstairs. Room sizes are generous, circulation is practical for family life, and the village location gives easy access to Burton Wood, local clubs and good primary and secondary schools nearby.
Practical points to note: heating is oil-fired with a new boiler; walls are original solid brick (insulation assumed limited in places) and the double glazing was installed prior to 2002. Council tax is reported as quite expensive. While the house has been comprehensively renovated to a high standard, buyers should allow for ongoing running costs typical of period homes and discuss any further development or change-of-use plans with the local authority.
This property will suit buyers seeking a character home with generous outdoor space and flexible outbuildings — ideal for families who value village life, room for hobbies and potential to tailor the outbuildings to their needs. The sale is chain-free, allowing a straightforward move for the successful purchaser.
