Lilleys Farm is a stone-built farmhouse set in about 1.75 acres, offering far-reaching countryside views and a very private, hamlet setting. The house retains character details — a Minster stone open fireplace, generous room proportions and a useful attic room — and is not listed, giving flexibility for sensitive updating and extension (subject to planning).
The plot, approached via a sweeping private drive, includes substantial outbuildings and former kennels providing storage or conversion potential (STPP). There is a natural covered spring well in the garden and mature specimen trees creating seclusion; a former paddock area adds space for animals, landscaping or leisure uses.
The property requires renovation throughout and has practical considerations: oil-fired central heating, private septic drainage, double glazing installed before 2002 and cavity walls likely without insulation. A previously lapsed planning consent demonstrates extension potential but no active permission exists. Council Tax is Band F and some outbuildings are in variable repair.
This is a rare opportunity for a buyer seeking a character farmhouse with a large plot and scope to create a modern family home or a bespoke country retreat. Buyers should budget for significant updating and any planning costs required to extend or convert the outbuildings.
