Spacious period home on a huge plot — ideal for hobby farming or renovation.
Approximately 3.5 acres of grounds and mature landscaping
Detached four-bedroom cottage with period features and exposed beams
Large rooms throughout; approx. 1,085 sq ft (9 rooms)
Requires modernisation throughout; services untested
Single bathroom only; consider adding/enlarging facilities
Solid brick walls likely uninsulated; energy upgrades advised
Oil-fired boiler heating; oil fuel not on a community supply
Very slow broadband and average mobile signal; rural location
Set in about 3.5 acres, this detached four-bedroom cottage offers genuine country living and scope for improvement. The house retains period features — exposed beams, a wood burner and generous rooms — giving a solid canvas for a sympathetic restoration. The large plot and outbuilding suit equestrian use, hobby farming or creating extensive gardens and paddocks.
The property requires modernisation throughout: services and fixtures are untested, heating runs from an oil boiler, and the solid brick walls likely lack insulation. There is a single family bathroom and double glazing installed before 2002; buyers should factor refurbishment and possible replacement of windows, heating and internal redecoration into costs.
Practical positives include a garage, useful outbuilding, private mature grounds and very low local crime. The location is rural and quiet — ideal for families seeking space and privacy but less suitable for those needing fast broadband or strong mobile signal. A survey is recommended to confirm condition and scope of renovation works.
This is a rare purchase opportunity for buyers who want long-term potential: a character home with extensive grounds that rewards an investment in modernisation and tailoring, especially for equestrian or smallholding uses.
