Characterful rural home with paddocks and panoramic downs views.
Set within approximately 1.7 acres with barn and four powered stables
Set on about 1.7 acres, this renovated stone cottage blends period charm with practical outbuildings for equestrian or smallholding life. The house offers two double bedrooms, two reception rooms, two bathrooms and a bright kitchen; features such as exposed beams, flagstone floors, a log-burning fireplace and a 1950s AGA retain authentic character. Outside there are two paddocks, a powered barn and four powered stables, plus a large gravel driveway and five-bar gate.
The property has clear potential to grow: an attic offers scope to create extra bedrooms subject to obtaining planning consent. The garden is mature and wildlife-rich, with panoramic views over surrounding downs and easy access to bridleways and footpaths—appealing for families, walkers and equestrian buyers.
Buyers should note a few practical points. Heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators; the EPC is rated F. The granite/whinstone walls are traditional and likely uninsulated, which may affect running costs and could require upgrading. Broadband speeds are reported slow despite excellent mobile signal. Planning consents will be needed for any attic conversion or significant alterations.
Overall this is a characterful, substantial rural home for buyers seeking space, equestrian facilities and countryside living, with realistic work to consider on energy efficiency and any planned extensions.
