West Farm is an impressive Grade II listed Georgian farmhouse set in about 1.66 acres, offering substantial family accommodation across approximately 4,219 sq ft. The house has been sympathetically renovated to retain period features — high ceilings, sash windows, marble fireplaces and a large cellar — while providing modern living spaces and a practical utility room. The extensive, landscaped gardens, carriage driveway and separate walled garden create a private, rural setting on the edge of Knook.
The property benefits from planning permission for a rear extension that would enlarge the kitchen/family area and add a guest bedroom with en-suite, plus proposals for extra car port accommodation. There is further scope by negotiation to acquire additional land and a triple-bay garage with storage above, useful for larger households, hobbyists or equestrian uses. The large plot and generous room proportions make this easily adaptable for multi-generational living or home-working.
Buyers should note material constraints: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict some alterations and may complicate future works; EPC rating E and oil-fired central heating indicate higher running costs; private drainage is installed and broadband speeds are very slow. The location is rural but well connected for rail links from nearby towns and local independent and state schooling within easy reach.
Overall this is a characterful, roomy Georgian farmhouse for buyers seeking a substantial country home with potential to enlarge and customise, provided they are comfortable with listed-building obligations and the practical realities of rural services.
