Practical outbuildings include a stone garden room and workshop plus a detached double garage with parking—useful for storage, DIY or equestrian kit. Mains services are connected and mobile signal is excellent, making the house usable as a year‑round family base.
Buyers should note the home's age: some maintenance and sympathetic updating may be required to meet modern standards, and broadband speeds are slow in the area.

For families the property is close to well‑rated local primary and secondary schools and benefits from pleasant rural views and immediate access to woods, stream and river.
Overall, Fern House will suit purchasers seeking a characterful, spacious rural home with substantial outdoor space and outbuildings—particularly families and buyers who value privacy and countryside lifestyle and are comfortable with ongoing maintenance and heritage upkeep.
