Steppes Farm is a substantial late‑19th‑century stone farmhouse offered for sale following a long period of family ownership. The principal house sits elevated, southwest‑facing, with large wrap‑around gardens, an adjacent paddock and extensive traditional and modern outbuildings. The holding is described as very large overall (c.150 acres of pasture and woodland divided into lots), offering farming, smallholding or conversion opportunities subject to planning.
Internally the farmhouse provides generous rooms across two floors — multiple reception rooms, a large kitchen, wet room and five bedrooms — alongside a cluster of barns and steel‑clad agricultural buildings (~7,719 sq ft). The outbuildings present clear potential for ancillary accommodation, holiday lets or productive agricultural uses, but any change of use or conversion would require appropriate consents.
The property is being sold as a probate sale and will suit buyers seeking rural scale and privacy: farmers, developers with planning appetite, or investors looking for conversion projects. Practical drawbacks include an overall requirement for refurbishment and modernisation in parts, electric room heaters as the main heating source, very slow broadband, and the site sits within a very deprived area classification despite very low crime. Buyers should allow for refurbishment costs, potential planning applications, and any statutory obligations tied to the probate sale.
