Badgers Rest is a Grade II listed farmhouse combining late 17th/early 18th-century character with a substantial 2000 extension, creating flexible living across multiple reception rooms and five bedrooms. Exposed beams, flagstone floors and several traditional fireplaces sit alongside a bespoke farmhouse kitchen with granite worktops and modern appliances. A detached garage (2012) with a room above and reliable mobile signal provides good home-office potential.
The house sits in a large, flat garden with mature fruit trees and riverside meadow views. Planning permission is already in place for a two-storey annexe/garden room, offering clear scope to add living space or to create elevated countryside views. The principal suite enjoys privacy via a separate staircase and looks out across peaceful rural vistas.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status, which brings restrictions and could complicate alterations or repairs. The building’s stone walls are likely uninsulated, heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, and the Energy Performance is D. Broadband speeds are described as slow despite reliable Zen coverage to the outbuilding; mobile signal is excellent. There is a medium flooding risk for the area — important to review if proximity to the River Og concerns you.
This home will suit families seeking space near good schools, downsizers wanting a rural retreat with character, or buyers looking for an adaptable property with planning potential. It offers a rare combination of historic charm, modern comforts and scope for sensible improvement, but prospective purchasers should factor in listed-building constraints and running costs associated with oil heating and older stone construction.
