Grade II listed Chartist bungalow with strong period character
A rare Grade II listed Chartist bungalow set in almost two acres of private grounds, this detached three-bedroom home blends period character with practical country living. The house offers generous single-storey accommodation including a large lounge with wood burner, an open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with French doors to the garden, and well-proportioned double bedrooms. New air source heat pump has been installed, improving running costs, while the property retains many original features.
The plot is a major asset: level lawns, paddocks, substantial outbuildings, and a large garage/workshop. A detached stable block has full planning permission (P1493/23/FUL) to convert into a one-bedroom annexe, useful for multi-generational use, holiday let or rental income. Gravelled parking and gated access provide good vehicle and caravan space and privacy in a quiet village setting.
Buyers should note material considerations: listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate consent for works; main heating remains oil-fired with radiators, despite the air source heat pump; the house is of solid brick construction so external or internal wall insulation would be needed to improve thermal performance. The property is on a septic tank, has double glazing installed before 2002, and the current EPC is E with Council Tax band E.
This home will suit buyers seeking spacious single-storey countryside living with outbuildings and development potential. It particularly appeals to families who value outdoor space and hobby farmers, or buyers wanting an annexe conversion. A measured renovation and listed‑building approach will release the property’s full potential.
