Large, renovated country home with elevated views and extensive gardens.
Chain free three-bedroom detached home with character features
Chevin Lodge is a spacious, stone-built detached family home set in the sought-after hamlet of Farnah Green. The house has been comprehensively modernised while retaining period character: high-spec kitchen with NEFF appliances, two wood-burning/multi-fuel stoves and vaulted principal bedroom with en suite. Large open-plan living/dining/kitchen and a separate lounge create flexible living space for family life and entertaining.
The grounds are a standout feature — a very large, landscaped plot with terraces, raised decking and private patios that capture fine rural views. Driveway parking and a detached single garage provide off-street space; the setting offers excellent privacy and peaceful countryside walks on the doorstep. Chain free sale makes for a straightforward move.
Be clear on the practical considerations: the property is an older stone build (pre-1900) and the external stone walls are believed to be uninsulated, which can affect heating efficiency even with gas central heating and double glazing in place. Broadband speeds are reported as slow and mobile signal is average — relevant if you work from home or need fast connectivity. Council tax is described as quite expensive and the house sits in an isolated hamlet, so day-to-day amenities are limited locally.
Overall this is a rare find for a family seeking character, generous internal and external space and elevated rural views, provided you accept the running-cost and connectivity trade-offs that can come with a large, historic country home.
