A rare early 17th-century Grade II listed farmhouse set in about 8.5 acres of paddocks and pasture, offering a blank-canvas country residence. Large, well-proportioned rooms retain original character — exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and panelled ceilings — with uninterrupted 360° countryside views.
The unlisted 3,300 sq.ft. barn, stable block and four paddocks create strong equestrian or smallholding potential and scope for ancillary development, subject to planning. A long gated driveway leads to ample off-street parking and an inner yard; grounds include undulating lawns and specimen trees.
The property requires complete refurbishment throughout: single glazing, solid brick walls likely without insulation, oil-fired boiler heating and only one main bathroom for six bedrooms. Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate works and consents. The barn and outbuildings are not listed, which preserves some flexibility for change pending permissions.
This is a project for buyers seeking a substantial country restoration with land — ideal for an equestrian family, smallholding or buyer looking to add value through careful renovation. Practical considerations include costs and timescales for listed‑building works, upgrading insulation, replacing glazing, and modernising services.
