A roomy four-bedroom detached character home set in about 12.25 acres in Risbury, offering a rare combination of private gardens, paddock and a self-contained studio/annex. The main house retains exposed beams, a living room with woodburner, separate dining room and versatile reception spaces ideal for family life or home working. The detached annex includes a ground-floor kitchenette, WC and shower, plus a first-floor open room overlooking the paddock — useful as a home office, guest suite or let space.
The plot is a standout feature: approximately 1 acre of landscaped gardens around the house and about 11.25 acres of adjoining paddock currently let to a sheep farmer, with obvious potential for equestrian use. A private driveway leads to generous parking and hard standing for several vehicles. Double glazing has been installed post-2002 and the property sits at an overall average internal size of about 1,765 sq ft.
Buyers should note material practicalities: the home is heated by an oil-fired boiler, council tax is described as expensive, and the location is a hamlet/isolated setting with limited local services. Flood risk for the area is high, which will affect insurance and future maintenance planning. Broadband speeds are good, but the setting is remote — appealing for privacy but less convenient for daily commuting or frequent urban trips.
