A substantial former farmhouse dating from the early 1800s, this four-bedroom semi-detached home sits on a decent plot backing onto open farmland. The property retains traditional character with cob walls, a chimney and a cosy lounge with a log burner, while practical additions include substantial outbuildings with light and power and a wide gravel driveway with off-street parking. Double glazing was fitted after 2002 and broadband and mobile signal are strong for a remoter village location.
The house requires full modernisation throughout — the mid-20th century kitchen, bathroom and general decor need updating — but there is clear potential to create a comfortable, energy-upgraded rural home. Heating is by an oil-fired boiler and radiators fed from a back boiler; prospective buyers should note oil supply arrangements and consider heating upgrades. Council tax is above average for the area.
For those wanting more outdoor space or workspace, the owners have added outbuildings and acquired extra land to the rear, effectively doubling the garden size. There is ample room to extend the house subject to planning permission, offering scope to reconfigure accommodation or add an annex. The location suits retirement or downsizing buyers who want countryside calm with nearby village amenities and highly rated local schools within driving distance.
