A substantial Grade II listed former farmhouse offering over 3,000 sqft of characterful living on the village edge. Original 17th‑century features — exposed timbers, flagstone floors, inglenook fireplaces and a bread oven — combine with later sympathetic extensions, including a bright garden room that opens onto a stone terrace and large lawned garden.
The house provides generous reception rooms, a spacious kitchen/breakfast area and five double bedrooms across three floors, with vaulted ceilings on the second floor giving excellent light and volume. Outside a stone barn with two‑bay cart port, workshop and stores provides practical parking and storage; gravel driveway offers space for several cars.
Practical considerations: the property is Grade II listed and subject to covenants, which will limit permitted alterations and can complicate works or extensions. Energy performance is modest (EPC D) and council tax is noted as quite expensive. The Aga is excluded from the sale.
This home will suit a family who values period character, generous room sizes and village living, and buyers comfortable with owning a listed building — including the responsibilities and costs of maintenance and consented repairs.
