An imposing Victorian stone farmhouse set within approximately 3.1 acres, offering substantial family accommodation and genuine equestrian potential. The house delivers five double bedrooms, three reception rooms, a conservatory and a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, with two double garages and a gated driveway providing generous parking. The separate 1.9-acre gated paddock, detached stable block (three stables) and further yard space make this well suited to small-holder or horse-owning families.
The property includes pre-approved planning to convert the stable block into a two-bedroom annex, and additional accommodation over the attached garage (double bedroom, lounge and shower room) already accessible via a private staircase — scope to create a one-bedroom annex subject to consents. Chain free sale and extensive grounds offer a rare blank canvas for widening the house’s uses: ancillary income, multi-generational living or further renovation.
Buyers should note practical limitations: broadband speeds are very slow, heating relies on oil and bottled LPG, and the solid stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated which may affect running costs and cold-spot maintenance. Council Tax is currently Band G (2025/26 £3,850.93) which reflects the property’s size and may change after improvements.
Set in an established farming community with excellent mobile signal and accessible transport links, this character property offers privacy, far-reaching rural views and substantial development potential — but it will suit buyers prepared to manage period maintenance, improve insulation and upgrade services to match modern living standards.
