This Grade II listed five-bedroom farmhouse sits on about 1.33 acres with extensive formal gardens, two barns and adjoining pasture. Elevated grounds provide privacy, mature boundary planting and distant coastal views — an appealing rural retreat for families who value space and character.
The principal living rooms combine traditional features — exposed beams, a brick fireplace and wood burner — with a large, contemporary kitchen/dining room opening to the garden. The property offers flexible accommodation across multiple storeys, generous reception space and off-road parking with a garage. The two outbuildings and courtyard present useful storage, hobby space or potential ancillary uses (subject to consents).
Important practical points: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and could complicate repairs and conversions; any buyer must allow for specialist maintenance and listed-building consent for changes. Broadband speeds are slow in this location, and council tax is described as quite expensive. Despite these constraints, the large plot, strong countryside and sea outlook, excellent mobile signal and very low local crime make the house a rare countryside proposition in a highly affluent area.
This property will suit buyers seeking rural character, space for outdoor life or those wanting an evocative family home with scope to adapt internal living (within listing limits). It is less suited to those requiring high-speed broadband, easy modernisation without consents, or buyers seeking a low-maintenance lock-up-and-leave property.
