Set within the tranquil Townend Estate, The Coach House is a substantial B‑listed stone property combining genuine period character with recent high‑standard renovation. At around 2,325 sq ft it offers generous living space including a formal lounge, dining room, sizeable dining kitchen and four bedrooms (fourth used as a home office). The principal suite includes an en‑suite shower and dressing room, with an additional ground‑floor bathroom for convenience.
The house sits in well‑kept front and rear gardens with mature planting and a woodland backdrop, providing privacy and attractive countryside views. Practical comforts include mains gas central heating, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and there is no flood risk.
Important practical points: the building is B‑listed, which preserves historic features but will restrict alterations and can complicate future work or extensions. Council tax is described as quite expensive and the wider local area scores as very deprived, which may affect services and resale considerations. The property was restored in 1994 and newly renovated more recently, but listed status means ongoing maintenance and specialist repairs may be required.
This is a strong choice for buyers seeking an authentic period country home with modern comforts — especially downsizers or purchasers wanting a peaceful rural retreat. Those planning major modifications should factor in listed‑building consent, and budget for higher running costs and any specialist maintenance that a historic property can demand.
