7 bed 5 bath Detached
Secluded farmhouse with extensive land and pool ideal for country living.
Approximately 48 acres of pasture and mature woodland
Set at the end of a private lane with about 48 acres of pasture and mature woodland, Hill Farm is a substantial 17th-century farmhouse offering more than 4,500 sq ft of flexible living. The longhouse layout provides four reception rooms, two kitchens, seven double bedrooms and five bathrooms, with one ground-floor bedroom and bathroom that could form a self-contained annexe. Original features — exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace, a clome oven and English elm flooring — give the house strong period character while later sympathetic extensions increase practical living space.
The plot is a major asset: extensive pasture, woodlands, a meandering river boundary and large outbuildings including cob barns and a modern steel-framed barn. There is scope for ancillary development or conversion subject to planning consent. A sheltered, solar-heated swimming pool sits beside a sizeable log cabin equipped with showers, WC and a sauna, currently used as a pool room, gym and cinema.
Practical considerations are straightforward and important. Heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators; mains broadband speeds are very slow; double glazing is older (pre-2002). The property will require ongoing maintenance typical of a historic cob-built house and estate, and council tax is described as quite expensive. For buyers seeking privacy, countryside views and flexible accommodation with scope for improvement, this offers substantial rural potential. For those prioritising fast broadband, low running costs or minimal upkeep, note the likely remedial and running-cost implications before viewing.
