Versatile family living with extensive grounds and woodland access.
Grade II listed farmhouse — restrictions and extra upkeep likely
This Grade II listed five-bedroom farmhouse blends original character with thoughtful modern updates to create a highly versatile family home. Exposed stonework, beamed ceilings and a large rustic living room with wood burner give authentic country charm, while double glazing and tasteful refurbishments make daily living comfortable.
Set on a huge plot with direct access to approximately eight acres of private woodland, the property includes a paddock, open barn and a two-storey garage — ideal for cars, storage, hobbies or a home business. A covered outdoor dining area extends entertaining options and connects indoor living with the generous grounds, giving plenty of space for children and multi-generational family arrangements.
Practical considerations are straightforward: heating is by oil-fired boiler to radiators, broadband speeds are fast for a rural location, mobile signal is average, and there is no flood risk. The home sits in a quiet hamlet with low crime and nearby primary schools rated Good, though the nearest secondary has a lower Ofsted rating.
Important caveats: the listed status will restrict alterations and may increase maintenance complexity and cost. Council tax is above average and the size and age of the property mean ongoing upkeep should be expected. For buyers seeking rustic character, spacious grounds and flexible family living — and who accept the responsibilities of owning a listed rural farmhouse — this property offers strong long-term appeal.
