Littlecot House is a substantial modernised traditional country home set in just under 10 acres of pasture, woodland and formal garden on the edge of Harpford. The principal house offers flexible living across more than 5,300 sq ft with generous reception rooms, a large 35 ft kitchen/dining hub and extensive outdoor entertaining terraces overlooking rolling fields. The grounds include a heated swimming pool (air-source heat pump), an open two-bay garage with workshop and direct access to paddocks suitable for equestrian use.
Within the grounds but discreetly sited, The Cider Barn is a recently built single-storey holiday cottage with underfloor heating, two en-suite bedrooms and a decked terrace. It currently trades as a successful holiday let with strong reviews and repeat bookings, providing genuine ancillary income or accommodation for dependents. Practical features include mains gas AGA, utility room, multiple sets of French doors to terraces, off-street parking and good broadband speeds.
Buyers should note material details: the property is offered freehold with rural holding number recorded, and two wayleave agreements for electricity and telephone (small annual payments). Council tax is described as quite expensive, and as with any large country estate the house and grounds will require ongoing maintenance and gardening resources. The property sits in a quiet hamlet with low crime, average mobile signal and fast broadband — attractive for family life or a rural business but remote compared with town amenities.
This home will suit families seeking space and privacy, equestrian owners wanting direct field access, or purchasers looking for a country estate with an established holiday-let income stream. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the valley setting, terrace and pool relationship to the house and the scale of the land and outbuildings.
