Summary - Pipers Croft, Furzen Lane RH12 3AW
3 bed 3 bath Detached
Sprawling private grounds with pool and paddock for family living.
Grade II listed timber‑framed cottage, built c.1600
A rare, timber‑framed Grade II listed cottage dating from the 17th century, set within about 1.49 acres of mature gardens, paddock and outbuildings. The house retains original character — exposed timbers, small‑paned windows and a steep pitched roof — while offering adaptable living space including a ground‑floor bedroom with en suite and two further bedrooms with bathrooms. Extensive ancillary buildings include a pool and pool house, garden office/studio, summer house, greenhouse and double garage, making the plot ideal for family, hobby‑equine or flexible leisure use.
The property offers genuine scope for sympathetic refurbishment to improve energy performance and modern comforts; note the timber frame is assumed to lack insulation and glazing is secondary. Services include mains gas boiler and fast broadband. Practical positives include driveway parking, sizable garage, and a substantial vegetable garden alongside formal lawns and specimen trees.
Important practical considerations are clear: the listing imposes restrictions and will complicate structural or external alterations; the EPC is rated E; there is a medium flood risk; and council tax is described as quite expensive. The house appears lived‑in and will require external maintenance and internally sympathetic updating rather than wholesale redevelopment.
This is a proposition for a buyer who values historic charm, generous private grounds and ancillary leisure facilities, and who is prepared to work within listed‑building constraints to restore and enhance a distinguished country home.
