Summary - Sharpes Farm, Lower Street, Braishfield SO51 0PH
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious family estate with private golf, tennis and 12.77 acres of landscaped grounds.
Approximately 6,250 sq ft of living space across cottage, barn and modern extension
Sharpes Farm is a rare country home combining authentic period character with generous contemporary living spaces across c.6,250 sq ft and 12.77 acres. The main house, converted 18th‑century barn and modern extension create flexible reception space ideal for family life and entertaining — open-plan kitchen/family room, separate sitting rooms, and a dramatic barn with vaulted ceilings. Outside, mature woodland, wildflower meadows, orchard, pond, tennis court, summer house and a private golf hole provide varied leisure and productive garden space.
The principal suite and mezzanine bathroom in the modern wing deliver a bright, elevated retreat, while original cottage wings retain exposed timbers and characterful bedrooms. Practical outbuildings include a double garage, tractor shed with store above, granary currently used as a home office, greenhouse and extensive driveway parking — useful for hobbies, equipment or small-scale agricultural uses.
Buyers should note the building dates and construction: timber‑frame sections (1930s–1940s) with assumed lack of wall insulation and a traditional thatched roof, which will require regular specialist maintenance and may affect insurance and running costs. Heating is oil‑fired with a mix of underfloor and radiators on site; oil supply and servicing are a material cost consideration. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal average — not ideal for heavy remote working without upgrades.
This property will most appeal to established families or buyers seeking a lifestyle estate with substantial outside space and leisure facilities, and to those prepared to manage the running costs and upkeep that come with historic construction and thatch. Council tax is very expensive; routine maintenance, energy and insurance budgets should be factored into any purchase decision.
