Summary - Steppes Farm, Frampton DT2 9NJ
7 bed 3 bath Detached
Substantial period farmhouse with cottage and c.62.9 acres in private parkland near Maiden Newton.
Seven-bedroom principal house with adjoining two-bedroom cottage
Steppes Farm is a distinguished seven-bedroom farmhouse set in an outstanding parkland setting within Frampton Park, offered with an adjoining two-bedroom cottage and about 62.88 acres in total. The principal house dates from c.1777 with handsome flint elevations, generous reception rooms and a galleried landing; the cottage has independent access and lends itself to multi‑generational living or staff/guest accommodation. Recent upgrades include an air‑source heat pump, solar array and EV charging point, helping reduce running costs; the property has an EPC rating of C.
The land is arranged in several parcels including productive pasture, a small woodland copse, and a steel portal agricultural building (approx. 132 sq m) suitable for storage or potential equestrian use (subject to planning). Lotting allows purchase in separate parcels; Lot 1 (house) includes approximately 15.34 acres of immediate grounds, outbuildings and grazing, with the bulk of the remaining acreage offered in Lots 2–4. Several bridleways cross the holdings and some pasture is let under a Farm Business Tenancy (vacant possession available 1 November 2025).
Practical points to note: access to parts of the land and Lot 1 is taken over third‑party land and certain rights of way affect the estate. Services include mains electricity, private water from a 40m covered well, private drainage, and low‑carbon heating and power. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow and council tax is Band G, which should be factored into running costs. This property will appeal to families seeking space and privacy, buyers wanting small‑scale farming or equestrian potential, and purchasers who value a period home with modern sustainable upgrades.
