- Multiple outbuildings and courtyard providing conversion or storage potential
- Grade II listed: alterations restricted and will need specialist consent

Set within roughly 7.75 acres and the former Hornby Castle walled gardens, this substantial six-bedroom stone property offers rare scope for sympathetic improvement and significant value uplift. The house retains strong period character — exposed beams, stonework and high ceilings — across generous reception rooms and bedrooms, with multiple wings and a deep footprint providing flexible living and ancillary space.
The plot includes a courtyard, mature gardens, orchard areas, woodland and a range of outbuildings suitable for workshops, conversion or storage. Its elevated, private position in a rural hamlet delivers attractive countryside views and a secluded feel while remaining within reach of local villages and good primary schools.
Important practical considerations: the building is Grade II listed, which will complicate alterations and require specialist consent and conservation-led work. The house requires full modernisation and renovation throughout; heating is oil-fired via a boiler and radiators, there are only two bathrooms for six bedrooms, and the property will need investment to bring services, finishes and energy performance up to modern standards. Broadband and mobile signal are average, and council tax is described as quite expensive.
For buyers looking for a project with historic charm, extensive grounds and flexible outbuildings, this offers rare potential. For those seeking a move-in-ready home, the level of works and listed restrictions are likely to be significant barriers.
