Characterful five-bed farmhouse with paddock and extensive gardens near Blisland.
Detached farmhouse with original part from 1598
Spittal Farmhouse is a detached, characterful farmhouse set in a very large plot with approximately 0.5 acre paddock and mature gardens, offering wide countryside views in a peaceful hamlet. The oldest part of the house dates to 1598 and the interior retains stone fireplaces, exposed beams, flagstone floors and sash-style windows that create an authentic, historic feel.
The generously proportioned layout includes five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a farmhouse kitchen with an oil-fired Rayburn, separate dining and sitting rooms, a study/office with mezzanine and useful outbuildings (barn, workshop, stable). Practical features include a private borehole water supply, septic drainage and a carport with ample off-street parking.
Important practical considerations: heating is oil-fired to radiators and the property has an EPC of E. Broadband and mobile coverage are limited (very slow broadband; poor mobile signal outdoors). The stone walls are historic and assumed uninsulated, so there will be costs if you decide to improve thermal efficiency and modernise services.
This property will suit buyers seeking rural character and room for outdoor life — families wanting space, hobby farmers or buyers who value historic fabric and gardens. It also offers potential for sympathetic updating or modest refurbishment to improve energy performance and modern conveniences while preserving original features.
