An impressive Grade II listed seven-bedroom detached house set in approximately 3.58 acres, offering generous family accommodation across 4,180 sq ft and far-reaching rural views. The current owner has restored and extended the property, retaining original features such as exposed beams, floorboards and the original staircase, while adding high-quality replacement windows and open-plan ground floor living. Large reception rooms, a substantial kitchen with Aga, cellar and multiple bedrooms create flexible space for family life, home working and hobbies.
The plot includes sandstone and brick outbuildings with planning permission (Ref. 10/05179/FUL) to convert into a separate three-bedroom dwelling, plus a modern agricultural building (2010) screened from the house. These elements suit someone looking for ancillary accommodation, income potential, or space for equestrian or smallholding use. Ample off-street parking and mature gardens add to the practical appeal.
Buyers should be aware of material constraints: the property’s Grade II listed status restricts alterations and will complicate any structural work or conversions, and there is a 30% overage payable to the current owner if residential planning permission on paddocks or the modern agricultural building is granted within 25 years. Services include mains water and electricity, oil-fired central heating, and septic tank drainage — the latter may require ongoing maintenance. Broadband speeds are slow and council tax is described as quite expensive, reflecting the property’s size and rural location.
This home suits a growing or multi-generational family seeking character, space and privacy in a peaceful hamlet, or a buyer wanting conversion potential on site. It’s been newly renovated for comfortable living but retains planning and listed restrictions that should be considered early in purchasing plans.
