A substantial four-bedroom detached period home occupying about 4.66 acres with extensive outbuildings and far-reaching rural views. The stone-built, double-bay-fronted cottage blends traditional character—bay windows, feature fireplaces and a gas Aga—with modern comforts including gas central heating and double glazing to the main house.
The plot includes adjoining stables, three garages and a partitioned two-room office; these buildings have clear potential for conversion to annex or separate accommodation subject to necessary planning consents. The grounds include a secluded walled garden, decked viewing point over woodland, and a sloping field planted with around 1,400 mixed native trees—offering strong scope for private outdoor living or small-scale development (planning not granted).
Practical considerations: the property dates from the mid-19th century and some structural fabric (stone walls) is likely uninsulated, the stables are single glazed and the EPC is rated E. There are no current planning consents for conversions and any development would need approvals. Overall, this is a rare opportunity for a family or investor seeking a large period home with substantial land and workable scope for additional accommodation or income streams.
