Set within about 0.77 acres of meticulously landscaped grounds, Speckled Wood is a substantial stone residence blending barn conversion character with contemporary living. The house offers generous, flexible accommodation across multiple wings—five double bedrooms, three shower/bathrooms, a vaulted sitting room with multifuel stove, and open-plan kitchen/dining —making it well suited to a large family or those wanting home-working and guest/annexe options.
The gardens are a standout asset: mature trees, private lawned areas, a westerly balcony and paved seating areas provide sheltered, year-round outdoor space and far-reaching rural views. A stone-fronted detached double garage with electric roller door, cellar storage and hardstanding for several cars add practical comfort for countryside living.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important. The property uses a mixture of heating sources (oil-fired Aga, multifuel stove and reportedly electric storage heaters), has private drainage via a septic tank and benefits from privately owned solar panels. The house was converted/extended in 1986 from earlier stone fabric; some walls are solid brick and presumed uninsulated, and the EPC is band D. There is a shared right of way over a gravel track to the private driveway.
Buyers should note material drawbacks factually: council tax band G (quite expensive), medium flood risk, private septic maintenance responsibility, and mixed/older heating and glazing which may prompt further upgrading or clarification. Overall this is a rare rural home with strong outdoor space, annexe potential and character, best suited to buyers wanting privacy and scope to tailor services and insulation to modern standards.
