Seven bedrooms across three floors with multiple reception rooms
Hicks Farm is a rare Grade II listed 17th-century detached home offering seven bedrooms across three floors, set on a sunny corner plot in Winterbourne. The house retains period character—open fireplaces, stripped flooring, sash-style windows and a farm-style kitchen with a butler’s pantry—while providing flexible living for a large family or an owner-occupied holiday business. The property is chain free and includes a newly built barn, detached double garage and generous off-street parking.
The layout supports multi-generational living or income use: multiple reception rooms, ground-floor guest bedroom with en-suite, and several bedrooms with en-suite or potential to add facilities. Grounds are landscaped with gravel terraces, lawns, hedging and a secluded courtyard area for entertaining. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent and local schools are well regarded, making the location family-friendly.
Buyers should be aware of material constraints. Grade II listing will limit alterations and can make repairs or upgrades more costly; walls are traditional granite/whinstone and assumed to lack modern insulation. Council tax is noted as quite expensive. The house offers clear renovation potential—particularly for adding modern insulation, updating heating or creating additional en-suites—but any work must respect listed-status restrictions.
This home suits purchasers seeking character and space with scope to personalise: families wanting formal and informal living areas, buyers seeking a successful holiday-let layout, or those prepared to invest in sympathetic restoration. Viewing will reveal the scale and period detail that text alone cannot convey.
