Summary - Whempstead Road, Benington, SG2 SG2 7DH
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Main house plus cottage, stables and seven acres close to village schools and commuter links.
Grade II listed detached house — restrictions on alterations and maintenance responsibilities
A rare village property combining a spacious period main house and a one‑bed cottage, set within about seven acres of grounds. The main house offers over 2,500 sq ft of living space with sitting and dining rooms, kitchen, utility, garden rooms and a veranda, plus three generous bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor. The separate one‑bed cottage provides independent accommodation or rental potential. The site includes stables, a ménage, three field shelters and garaging, appealing to equestrian owners or buyers seeking substantial outdoor space.
The plot is a significant part of the value: large paddocks and outbuildings give scope for hobby or small-scale professional equestrian use. There is also clear conversion potential in some outbuildings/garage subject to planning (STPP), which could increase usable accommodation or income. The property is offered chain free, which can simplify and speed up a sale for a committed buyer.
Buyers should note material constraints: the main house is Grade II listed, which will restrict changes and may complicate maintenance or conversion work. Broadband speeds are slow across the site, and council tax is described as quite expensive. These are factual drawbacks for those needing high‑speed connectivity, significant renovations, or flexibility to alter historic fabric. Overall, this is a characterful, substantial rural family home with equestrian facilities and development potential for the right purchaser prepared for listed‑building responsibilities.
