The Old Court House is a late 17th-century Grade II listed thatched farmhouse lovingly renovated to combine period detail with modern living. The main house offers three double bedrooms, an additional single and generous reception rooms with exposed beams, original fireplaces and a bespoke granite-topped kitchen with Aga. The adjoining cottage provides three further spacious bedrooms and a 23ft open-plan kitchen/sitting/dining room — ideal for guests, staff or rental income.
Set within circa one acre of mature, well-tended gardens, the property includes a large double garage, workshop, studio and a bespoke greenhouse. The gardens are productive and ornamental, with raised beds, apple trees, a rose parterre and a decked pond with potential to be adapted into a natural swimming area (subject to consents). The studio/workshop and outbuildings offer scope for conversion to an annexe or separate unit, subject to planning and listed-building constraints.
While the house has been newly renovated to a high standard, the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate extension or conversion plans. Any change-of-use or substantial works to the studio/workshop or pond will require listed-building and planning permissions. Broadband is fast but mobile signal is average; council tax banding is not specified. This property suits multi-generational families seeking a character home with separate living quarters, or buyers looking for an income-producing country house with carefully managed renovation potential.
