Five bedrooms and two bathrooms across 2,419 sqft
Set in a peaceful Hemington hamlet, this substantial five-bedroom stone cottage combines period charm with wide-ranging practical potential. The house sits on a very large plot (including two fenced paddocks and an orchard), offering equestrian or smallholding use and excellent scope to extend or convert outbuildings subject to planning permission. The property delivers versatile family living across generous reception rooms and a dramatic family room with exposed apex beams and underfloor heating.
Ground-floor accommodation includes a study with separate garden access, formal dining room, sitting room with log burner and wood flooring, and a wide kitchen with granite worktops. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite and open countryside views; four further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor. A large barn, stable, stone outbuilding and single garage provide ancillary space or potential conversion opportunities (planning approval required).
Practical considerations: the home is heated by an oil boiler and the stone walls are assumed uninsulated, which may affect running costs and improvement budgets. Broadband speeds are very slow and council tax is described as expensive—factors to weigh for home-working or connected living. Planning permission will be needed for conversions or substantial extensions.
This property will suit buyers seeking a character-filled family home with outdoor amenity and development potential, or investors interested in adding value through sympathetic refurbishment and conversion. Its rural setting and generous parking make it particularly appealing to those wanting equestrian facilities close to the house.
