This substantial stone residence sits in Emley Moor, offering flexible 5/6-bedroom family accommodation on a generous plot of around one acre. High ceilings, exposed beams and large reception rooms give a strong character feel, while a farmhouse-style kitchen, utility and hobby/boot room support busy household life. The attic room and study add useful home-office or guest space.
A circa 3,000 sq ft agricultural outbuilding with power and lighting sits to one side of the plot and is highlighted as having development potential with the necessary consents. For buyers seeking future value, that building and the very large plot present an uncommon opportunity in this prosperous rural location.
Buyers should note this property is being sold by Modern Auction. An undisclosed reserve price applies and a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price, subject to a minimum) plus buyer’s fees are payable. The sale process requires quick completion and due diligence — prospective purchasers must review the Buyer Information Pack and satisfy themselves on surveys and planning.
Practical points: broadband speeds are reported very slow, the stone walls are assumed uninsulated and much glazing predates 2002, so energy performance and some updating may be needed. Parking is plentiful, mobile signal is excellent and local schools and commuter routes are readily accessible.
