Reidside Ord Farmhouse is a spacious single-storey stone home set within a very large gated plot of just over four acres, ideal for families or hobby farmers who want space and privacy. The long L-shaped layout delivers generous living areas including a large lounge with wood burner, a substantial kitchen/dining room with patio access, a separate utility and flexible fourth room that works as a dining room or bedroom. Mature orchard, fenced paddock, animal shelter and large gravel drive with parking for multiple vehicles support equestrian or small-holding uses.
The house combines traditional character — exposed granite detail and stone construction — with practical upgrades such as double glazing and oil-fired central heating. The grounds are well fenced and landscaped, with a high-quality 8ft perimeter fence protecting the garden and keeping deer out. Practical onsite features include two garages, mains water to a concrete trough in the field, and fibre broadband available at the top of the drive should you wish to connect.
Buyers should note material considerations for a rural property of this type. Broadband in the home is currently satellite and speeds are very slow; fibre would require a connection. Heating is oil-fired and cooking uses a mix of electric range and Calor gas hob, which brings ongoing fuel cost and servicing considerations. The property sits in a very deprived area classification and council tax is above average — factors that may affect running costs and resale dynamics in the short term.
Overall this is a rare opportunity to acquire a large, single-level farmhouse with superb outdoor scope and flexible accommodation. It will suit families who value outdoor life, buyers seeking an equestrian or small-holding base, or those prepared to manage the practicalities of rural utilities and running costs.
