Set on over an acre of gardens and paddock, Carr Bottom Farm is a 17th-century Grade II listed farmhouse offering authentic rural character and strong scope for enlargement. Existing plans have been passed to create a five-bedroom home by converting the barn and mistal, presenting a clear route to add space while retaining period features such as exposed beams and stone fireplaces.
The accommodation offers traditional living rooms, a practical kitchen, and two double bedrooms on the first floor; a single family bathroom means modernisation would improve daily convenience. The grounds include a garage, barn, mistal, stable and outbuildings plus gated driveway and parking. A recently fitted 10-person water treatment plant and oil-fired boiler serve the property.
Buyers should note the property’s Grade II listing — alterations will be subject to listed building consent and can add time and cost. The stone walls have no known insulation and the heating is oil-fired, so buyers should expect energy-efficiency upgrades. Council tax is described as expensive and there is a public footpath running down the driveway.
This will suit families seeking a countryside lifestyle with strong school options nearby and scope to create a substantially larger home. For purchasers prepared to manage listed-building requirements and undertake renovation, the site offers exceptional outdoor space, privacy and attractive moorland views.
