Set on Main Street in Thorganby, this substantial Grade II listed farmhouse offers nearly 2,900 sq ft of character-filled living space and a huge rear garden. High ceilings, period fireplaces and large reception rooms give the house immediate presence and scope for creating comfortable family spaces. The property is vacant and sold with no onward chain, allowing a buyer to start work without delay.
Historic planning consent exists to divide the house into two dwellings, and the site includes brick-and-tile outbuildings that could convert to an annex, studio or home office — a strong value driver for multi-generational living or rental income. The house currently provides three double bedrooms and generous principal rooms arranged over multiple floors, ideal for families who need space and flexibility.
The property is a renovation project. It has electric room heaters, solid brick walls likely without insulation, and dated kitchen and bathroom fittings. Its listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate conversion work; listed-building consent and specialist contractors will be required. There is also a medium flood risk to note, so flood resilience measures should be factored into any refurbishment.
On balance, this is a rare opportunity to secure a large, character farmhouse on a massive plot in a very affluent, low-crime village setting. Buyers looking for a turnkey home should expect significant modernization; those willing to invest in sympathetic upgrades will unlock substantial space, potential ancillary accommodation and historic charm.
