A rare period farmhouse on the edge of Hollingworth village, this substantial four-bedroom detached home combines sweeping countryside views with generously proportioned living spaces. The property extends to about 2,790 sq ft and includes a lower-ground entertaining and fitness level, an outdoor hot tub, and five bathrooms — practical for family living or regular guests.
Practical factors to note: the house is leasehold with about 980 years remaining, carries Grade II listed status and is therefore subject to listed-building restrictions that will limit alterations and may increase maintenance complexity. Heating is provided by an electric boiler and the property uses a septic tank; these systems are functional but may carry higher running or maintenance costs compared with mains gas and drainage.
Occupying a tranquil elevated position, the gardens and patio take full advantage of long-range rural views. Internally there are prominent period features, large reception rooms with high ceilings and a fitted kitchen with an electric Aga. The lower-ground level offers flexible space currently used as a gym, pool room and wine cellar with direct garden access.
Other practical points: the home is chain free, in a low-crime area with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, but it attracts a service charge (£160/month) and a small ground rent (£50/year). Council Tax Band E is above average. Overall this is a characterful, substantial home for buyers who value privacy, views and period detail, and who are comfortable managing the responsibilities that come with listed status and non-mains services.
