Set on an elevated plot with uninterrupted countryside views, this Grade II listed three-bedroom farmhouse combines original 16th-century character with practical modern living. The house retains exposed beams, deep-sill windows, herringbone and quarry-tiled floors, two inglenook fireplaces with log burners and an original bread oven — features that will appeal to anyone seeking an authentic period home. The grounds are extensive, laid lawns and a wildflower meadow that could be adapted to a paddock, with greenhouse, fruit cage and two powered sheds (one with water).
The layout works well for family life: a dual-aspect L-shaped lounge with study nook, formal dining room, boot room and a fitted kitchen. The master bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and an en-suite; two further double bedrooms and a family shower room complete the first floor. Off-street parking is available and the driveway belongs to the property, although a shared right of access obliges a 50/50 contribution to maintenance with the neighbour.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate repair works. Heating is by oil and drainage is private; the Energy Performance Certificate is E39. The sale is by the modern auction method — a reservation fee of 4.8% (minimum £6,600) applies and completion is required within 56 days. Prospective buyers should review the legal pack for fees and conditions.
For buyers after character, land and privacy this house represents rare countryside provenance and scope for sensitive updating. Those seeking a low-maintenance or quickly alterable building should note the listed status and listed-related responsibilities before bidding.
