Listed status will restrict changes and may cause repair/consent difficulties
Council tax very expensive; any income use subject to necessary consents
Set around a gated gravel courtyard in the centre of Bury, this Grade II listed thatched property offers an unusually large village plot of about 0.77 acres with mature cottage gardens, a detached studio and a treehouse. The main house retains exposed timbers and period character and is accompanied by two self-contained dwellings (cottage and barn), garage, store and workshop — a flexible layout suited to multi‑generational living or a combination of home and income, subject to consent.
The overall accommodation is very substantial (approximately 5,153 sq ft) with principal bedroom and en suite in the main house, plus further bedrooms, dressing room and family bathroom. The outbuildings provide immediate ancillary space and clear potential for conversion or adaptation, though any alterations will be constrained by the listed status and will require the appropriate permissions.
Practical considerations include older EPC ratings (House E, Barn F, Cottage G), LPG-fuelled heating systems and a note that the property’s listed status “will cause difficulties” — buyers should allow for conservation-led repairs and higher energy and running costs. Council tax is described as very expensive. There is no flood risk and the village location offers low crime, good broadband and nearby primary and independent schools.
This lot will suit buyers seeking character, privacy and scope: families looking to house relatives on-site, buyers wanting rental income from self-contained units (with necessary consents), or purchasers prepared to invest in energy improvements and sympathetic restoration under listed‑building constraints.
