Grade II listed Jacobean house with significant original period features
A rare Jacobean country house set in approximately 12 acres of mature grounds, orchard and open fields. The stone-built Grade II listed property retains many original features — oak beams, flagstone floors and open fireplaces — offering immediate character and long-term potential for a sympathetic owner.
The main house is spacious, with five bedrooms, three bathrooms and generous reception rooms across multiple levels. Several outbuildings have been adapted for guest use while others, including a large barn, require renovation or consolidation to suit new owners. The plot includes two horse stables and extensive grounds ideal for equestrian, horticultural or smallholding pursuits.
Buyers should note material considerations: the listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate works; parts of the estate need renovation; broadband speeds are very slow; and council tax banding is expensive. Heating is by air-source heat pump with underfloor electric heating, and double glazing was installed after 2002. Mobile signal is excellent.
Located a short drive from Crewkerne station (direct links to London Waterloo), with Lyme Regis and the A303 within easy reach, the house suits buyers seeking a private country retreat with strong period character and scope to restore or adapt buildings within planning constraints.
