Kirtleside is a rare, Grade C listed former manse offering extremely large, characterful accommodation across approximately 2,939 sq ft. Original Gothic and Victorian features — high ceilings, stonework, original fireplaces and stained-glass details — give the house a dramatic, historic feel while later upgrades (fitted kitchen, integrated appliances, conservatory) make day-to-day living comfortable. The property sits in substantial grounds with a gated entrance, private garden and off-street parking.
The layout suits a family or those seeking flexible spaces: four double bedrooms, three bathrooms (including an en suite), multiple reception rooms and a garden room/conservatory that opens to an enclosed side garden. A separate upper-level studio/office accessed from the utility provides a quiet workspace away from the main bedrooms. The house’s scale and room sizes are standout selling points for buyers wanting generous, period living.
Practical points to note: the house is Grade C listed, so alterations will require listed-building consent and may complicate refurbishment. Heating is by oil-fired boiler and radiators (not a community system), and the double glazing was fitted before 2002. Mobile signal and broadband speeds are described as average, and the wider area is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale dynamics. Council tax is above average (Band E).
This is a property for buyers who value historic character, generous rooms and rural privacy, and who are prepared to manage the responsibilities that come with a listed, period home — including maintenance, potential conservation constraints and rural utilities.
