Steppes Farm is a substantial seven-bedroom farmhouse set in about 15.34 acres within the Frampton Park landscape, arranged around mature gardens, outbuildings and pasture. The main house dates to c.1777 and was converted to residential use in the 1990s; recent upgrades include solar panels, an air-source heat pump and an EV charging point, reducing running costs and supporting low-carbon living. Adjoining the principal house is an independently accessed two-bedroom cottage providing versatile annexe accommodation or potential incorporation into the main house.
The accommodation totals approximately 3,865 sq ft and includes an impressive reception hall with galleried landing, formal drawing room with ornate fireplace, a well-fitted kitchen with terrace access and a south-facing conservatory. Outdoors there are formal lawns and terraces, mature planting, a courtyard of outbuildings, a steel agricultural building (approx 131.82 sq m) and six paddock enclosures with water supply — useful for small-scale grazing or equestrian use (Grade 3 land).
Practical considerations are clear: broadband speeds are very slow, access is taken over third-party land (with recorded rights and possible alternative rights if lots are sold separately), and the agricultural land is currently let under a Farm Business Tenancy with vacant possession available from 1 November 2025. Council Tax banding is high. Overall, this is a characterful, energy-updated country home with extensive land and flexible accommodation suited to a large family, multigenerational living or those seeking smallholding/equestrian potential.
