Steeped in history, this former circa 1780 farmhouse offers more than 2,600 sqft of adaptable family living in Rawcliffe Village. Four reception rooms — including a snug and south-west-facing conservatory — plus a farmhouse kitchen and pantry give generous daily living and entertaining space. The house retains period features such as sash windows, feature fireplaces and a claw-foot bath, balanced with practical upgrades like double glazing and a modern boiler.
Outside, the walled gardens are a standout: a landscaped side garden with ornamental pond, greenhouse, timber store and paved patios provide private, low-maintenance areas for children and outdoor dining. A gated driveway leads to a modern double-skin brick garage/workshop with an electric door, offering secure parking and useful workspace or storage.
The layout suits a growing family needing flexible space — a ground-floor bedroom/work area or dedicated home office is included and upstairs rooms could be reconfigured to add an en suite or dressing area. Note practical considerations: broadband speeds can be slow locally, there is a single main bathroom for four bedrooms, and council tax is above average. The property is freehold and connected to mains gas, electricity, water and sewerage.
Overall this is a rare, substantial period cottage with strong family appeal and room for thoughtful updating. Its size, gardens and detached garage/workshop create scope to modernise parts of the layout while preserving character.
