Northend Farmhouse is a substantial, sympathetically renovated 17th-century farmhouse combining generous period rooms with a high-spec contemporary wing. Nearly 3,500 sq ft of living space includes three reception rooms, a vaulted kitchen/dining/family room (2018 extension) and flexible ground-floor wet room — useful if a ground-floor bedroom is required. Underfloor heating in the modern wing, engineered oak floors and wood-burning stoves maintain character while providing modern comfort.
The house sits in about 1.25 acres of carefully designed gardens by a noted garden designer. Grounds include an orchard, productive kitchen garden, two greenhouses, a meandering stream with bridges, a wildflower meadow and mature shrubs — plenty of scope for keen gardeners, families and outdoor entertaining. A long driveway, multiple parking spaces and a triple garage add practical appeal for car owners.
Practical issues are clear and factual: primary heating is oil-fired boiler with radiators, and the stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated, which may mean higher running costs despite the modernised areas. The property’s age and irregular plan bring quirks (low doorways, crooked stair) that are charming but may limit some layouts. A large loft provides conversion potential subject to planning and building regs.
Ideal for a family or buyer seeking a rural country retreat with extensive garden assets and flexible accommodation, the farmhouse balances historic character with a recent high-quality extension. Buyers should budget for long-term maintenance typical of older stone houses and consider heating and insulation upgrades if energy efficiency is a priority.
