A substantial period farmhouse set in about 4.8 acres of paddocks, formal lawns and orchard, Yates Farm offers rare countryside living with direct bridleway access. The main house provides generous reception and bedroom space, a sun room and an indoor pool suite with sauna—ideal for active families, equestrian owners or anyone seeking versatile rural accommodation.
A Grade II timber-framed threshing barn and attached stables are significant assets: the barn has established planning permission to convert to a three-bedroom dwelling and a separate access permission has been granted. Covered parking, a separate stable block and large ancillary outbuildings support equestrian or small-holding activity and provide scope for hobby farming, rental opportunity or multi‑generational living.
Buyers should note the listed status of the barn and farmhouse will restrict alterations and require specialist consent; this can make renovation more involved and costly. There is a medium flood risk for the area and council tax is described as quite expensive — both practical considerations for budgeting. Overall, the property suits purchasers who value privacy, equestrian capability and character, and who are prepared to manage listed-building requirements and longer-term maintenance of an estate-style holding.
