Summary - THE FIRS ROCKHAMPTON BERKELEY GL13 9DY
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Large family house with planning consent for a two-bedroom annexe and versatile outbuildings.
Set in just over two acres of mature gardens and grounds
Set well back from the lane behind mature hedging, this generous period house sits in just over two acres of gardens and grounds — a rare, family-sized country home with flexible living and strong entertaining spaces. Six reception rooms and a large modern farmhouse kitchen provide multiple reception areas for family life, home offices or hobbies, while the barn-conversion and outdoor fireplace create attractive spaces for guests and summer evenings.
The property already benefits from double glazing and recent refurbishments but also offers clear scope to add value: planning consent exists to create a self-contained two-bedroom annexe (P23/02909/F), and the outbuildings and huge plot could suit garaging, workshops or small-scale equestrian use. Practical features include a large hard-standing parking area, greenhouse with raised beds and a westerly seating area ideal for sunsets.
Be aware of a few material points: heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators (not on a community system), drainage is private, and original stone walls are assumed uninsulated — further insulation or energy improvements may be needed to reduce running costs. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The house occupies a quiet, remote hamlet location — excellent for rural living but meaning local services are limited and reliance on a car is high.
Overall this is a substantial, characterful family home in an affluent, low-crime area, suited to buyers seeking generous indoor space and extensive grounds with immediate privacy and future development potential.
