A rare 18th-century stone detached home set in the heart of Hawkshaw village, this substantial property combines historic character with generous, family-friendly space. Four double bedrooms (two with en-suites) and seven reception rooms include distinct living areas, an office, conservatory and a detached garden room with a built-in bar—ideal for entertaining or multi-generational living. Mature, private gardens and surrounding woodland offer uninterrupted countryside and water views from all sides, together with double driveways providing ample off-street parking.
The house retains many original features—latch doors, stone-flagged floors, a log burner and a traditional AGA—giving authentic period charm. The accommodation is immaculately presented and feels homely throughout, suited to families who want character, space and easy access to excellent local primary schools and village amenities. Very low local crime, excellent mobile signal and an affluent, village setting add to the location’s appeal.
Practical points to note: the property is an historic build (pre-1900) with sandstone/limestone walls that are assumed to be uninsulated, and the double glazing was installed before 2002. Broadband speeds in the area are slow. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators and tenure is freehold. These facts mean buyers should budget for potential energy-efficiency upgrades if required. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the size, setting and character this unique home offers.
Overall, this is an exceptional countryside family home for someone who values period features, seclusion and generous grounds. It will particularly suit buyers seeking a character property with versatile living spaces and strong entertaining potential, while accepting the need for possible modernisation to improve insulation and connectivity.
