Keepers Lodge Farm is a striking 17th-century stone house set in about 7.1 acres of formal gardens and pasture, offering authentic character with modern living spaces. The main house includes a 33 ft triple-aspect sitting room with a multi-fuel stove and French doors, a contemporary kitchen/dining area, utility and laundry facilities, plus principal bedroom with en suite and walk-in wardrobe. A two-storey self-contained annexe provides flexible accommodation — ideal for extended family, guests, or rental income — and a barn benefits from planning permission for further development.
The property suits families seeking space and rural privacy within an affluent village with low crime and strong nearby schools. Practical points include mains gas central heating, modern double glazing (installed post-2002), gated parking and a large gated driveway. The stone walls are original and assumed uninsulated; this adds character but may mean higher heating costs and potential improvement work to upgrade thermal performance.
Important practical considerations: broadband speeds are very slow in the area, council tax is described as quite expensive, and maintaining a historic farmhouse and large grounds will require ongoing upkeep. Overall, this is a rare country home with substantial land, flexible accommodation and clear development potential for a buyer prepared to invest in older-property maintenance and connectivity improvements.
