Grade II listed three-storey farmhouse with strong period features
Lea Hall Farmhouse is a substantial Grade II listed country home set in a huge, well-stocked plot with long sweeping drives and wide rural views. The house retains strong period character — tall ceilings, large sash windows, multiple fireplaces and a traditional farmhouse kitchen with a separate second kitchen — making it ideal for a large family, blended household or those seeking flexible living space.
Accommodation is arranged over three floors: three reception rooms, nine double bedrooms (two en suite), two family bathrooms and an attic floor of four further bedrooms. The property offers generous entertaining rooms, formal lawns, an ornamental pond, brick and tile outbuildings, two stables and a double carport. There is scope to adapt or reconfigure rooms to suit multi-generational living or to create bed-and-breakfast/guest accommodation subject to consents.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance. Heating is mixed (gas radiators and some electric heaters) and the Aga is oil-fired; drainage is to a private treatment system. Broadband is very slow despite excellent mobile signal. Council tax is Band H (very expensive) and an EPC is not provided. These are real ownership costs and practical constraints for anyone moving in.
This property will suit buyers who value period charm, space and privacy and who are comfortable managing a listed rural home and its running costs. For those seeking modern, low-maintenance living or fast broadband, this would require additional investment or acceptance of compromise.
