Set at the end of a private shared drive, West Steel is a beautifully presented stone farmhouse arranged over two floors and updated in recent months. The house offers five double bedrooms, a principal suite with dressing room and ensuite, and versatile reception rooms including a family room/home office, sitting room and a modern open-plan kitchen/dining area. Large windows and a southerly aspect ensure uninterrupted countryside views from nearly every room.
The property sits in 9.79 acres of formal gardens, paddocks and woodland, with substantial equestrian facilities: a 40m x 20m outdoor arena (rubber/sand surface), two internal stables in a wooden barn, a hay store, and well-fenced grazing paddocks. Practical outbuildings include a powered double garage/workshop and generous gravel parking for several vehicles. Solar panels (9 kW) and an upgraded air-source heat pump help lower running costs; the home currently holds an Energy Performance rating of C.
This home will suit families, equestrian buyers or those seeking a rural lifestyle with modern comforts. The renovation has retained character features—inglenook fireplaces, beams and stonework—while adding contemporary fittings and extra insulation. Broadband speeds are fast and crime levels are very low, but mobile signal is average.
Important practical points: the property lies in a remoter hamlet setting, so expect a rural commute and fewer local services. Council tax is above average and tenure is not specified, which should be confirmed early in the purchase process. The house and its outbuildings represent a substantial holding that will require ongoing maintenance typical of older stone farmhouses and agricultural buildings.
