Large historic farmhouse with 4.3 acres, outbuildings and conversion potential (STPP)..
Grade II listed farmhouse with historic character
West Farm is an impressive Grade II listed farmhouse set within about 4.3 acres (stms) of lawns, paddocks and outbuildings, offering approximately 5,900 sq ft of accommodation across three floors. The house combines historic character — exposed beams and brickwork — with large, adaptable reception rooms and a modern kitchen, plus two self-contained annexes that suit multigenerational living or holiday-let income.
The estate includes a timber-framed barn, stables, workshop with office/gym, triple car port and a summerhouse. The barn and other outbuildings present clear development potential (subject to planning), and ground-mounted solar PV helps reduce running costs. The grounds and paddocks will appeal to equestrian owners and those seeking extensive outdoor space.
Buyers should note material practicalities: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and can complicate works or conversions. Services include mains water and electricity, oil-fired central heating and a septic tank drainage system. Broadband is very slow and crime in the area is reported above average; council tax is Band F and likely expensive.
This is a rare country-estate opportunity for a family or buyer wanting space and scope — whether to enjoy as a private home, create ancillary income from the annexes, or pursue barn conversion (STP). Expect to budget for listed-property maintenance, any permission-driven conversions and improved connectivity.
