Set in an elevated hamlet with wide countryside views, Dean Head Farm is a substantial five-bedroom detached family house arranged over three principal levels plus mezzanine. The property combines traditional stone-built character—exposed beams, stone fireplaces and mullion windows—with a recently added contemporary kitchen extension featuring quartz worktops, island and integrated appliances. Two very large stone double garages, remote-operated gates and a huge plot provide privacy, secure parking and scope for outdoor family life.
The house offers versatile living: a formal dining room, lounge with log burner, separate bar, study and a vast third-floor family room with vaulted beamed ceiling and mezzanine. Accommodation includes a master suite with dressing room and ensuite, two further first-floor doubles and two third-floor doubles with an additional bathroom. Practical systems are in place: mains electric, oil central heating, spring water with filtration and a septic tank. The property has been newly renovated but retains period charm.
Important practical points: the home is in an isolated hamlet, so broadband speeds are very slow despite excellent mobile signal; this may affect home-working that relies on fast fixed internet. Heating is oil-fired (tank on site) and drainage is by septic tank; buyers should budget for routine maintenance. A stone outbuilding offers extra storage or potential workshop conversion but may require works for other uses.
This house will suit a growing family seeking space, countryside lifestyle and character with contemporary comforts. Local primary schools are well regarded and amenities include regular bus services and nearby village facilities; the nearest secondary school is rated as requiring improvement. Viewings will be most useful for buyers who value rural privacy, large indoor/outdoor entertaining spaces and are comfortable with some ongoing running costs tied to oil heating, private drainage and rural utilities.
