Set in 0.75 acres of cottage-style grounds, this stone-built farmhouse blends traditional character with usable modern upgrades. The house offers a large luxury main bedroom with en suite, two further bedrooms, two bathrooms and generous living spaces with wood-burning stoves – ideal for a family seeking space and country comfort. Solar panels reduce running costs, and multiple outbuildings create practical storage and hobby space.
The property’s standout asset is the substantial stone barn (78' x 19') and a 25' x 13'4" stone building that previously had consent for a two-bedroom holiday let, presenting clear potential for income or conversion subject to permissions. Grounds include a polytunnel, wildlife pond, bird hide and assorted stores – excellent for gardeners, smallholders or those wanting self-sufficiency. Off-street parking and good mobile signal add practical convenience despite the rural setting.
Buyers should note material and locational considerations: the home uses oil-fired central heating and private drainage, broadband speeds are reported very slow, and the local area is classified as very deprived. Some garden areas are overgrown and outbuildings will need inspection and possible maintenance. The previous planning consent on the smaller stone building is not a current live permission and would require confirmation and any necessary renewals before letting or conversion.
This property suits buyers seeking a peaceful, productive rural lifestyle with scope for small-scale diversification or renovation. It offers a large plot, substantial outbuildings and characterful living, balanced by practical costs and the need for due diligence on services and planning.
