Mapp Farm is a substantial stone farmhouse offering 2,300 sq ft of flexible, light-filled accommodation across multiple levels. The ground floor centres on an extensive open-plan kitchen, dining and family area with engineered oak flooring, underfloor heating and a Clearview wood burner, flowing out to a paved terrace that frames far-reaching countryside views. Period features such as exposed stone walls, high ceilings and character fireplaces sit alongside modern fittings including granite worktops and an air source heat pump.
Five well-proportioned bedrooms provide generous family space; the principal bedroom opens onto a sun terrace with unspoilt views. The property occupies approximately 0.6 acres of landscaped gardens, with large lawn, wildlife pond, orchard, pavilion, vegetable beds with irrigation and a range of outbuildings including a double carport and greenhouse — excellent for hobby gardeners, small equestrian use or those seeking substantial outdoor amenity.
Buyers should note practical considerations: there is only one family bathroom and a separate WC for five bedrooms, broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average, reflecting the remote, hamlet location. The plot and mature gardens will require ongoing maintenance. Council tax is above average and the property is listed as constructed before 1900, so purchasers should allow for age-related upkeep.
Overall this is a roomy, characterful country home for families or buyers seeking a countryside retreat with productive gardens and strong entertaining spaces, balanced by the realities of rural connectivity and upkeep responsibilities.
