5 bed 6 bath Detached
Extensive private estate with energy efficiencies and barn development potential.
Set in approximately five acres of gardens, paddocks and woodland
Toft Hall is a large, stone-built period farmhouse set in about five acres of landscaped gardens, paddocks and woodland — ideal for families seeking space, privacy and flexible living. The main house offers five bedrooms, six bathrooms and generous reception rooms, linked to a glass-fronted barn wing that provides a lounge/cinema, studio/annex and versatile ground-floor wet room for accessible living. A detached one-bedroom cottage currently provides an income stream, useful for guests or holiday let use.
Practical, energy-conscious features include solar panels and a biomass heating system with a six-ton hopper benefiting from the RHI scheme (payments running to 2034). The estate also has new private sewage treatment due 2025, fibre broadband, triple garaging, a double car port and extensive traditional stone outbuildings. The courtyard, orchard, greenhouse and kitchen garden support self-sufficient or smallhold living.
There is scope to develop the stone barns into additional living or commercial space subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents — a genuine development upside but not guaranteed. The property occupies a hamlet/isolated setting with very low crime and wide rural views, but buyers should note the remote location and reliance on private access along a long drive.
Material considerations: the estate is substantial and will require ongoing maintenance and management of buildings, grounds and outbuildings. Council Tax is Band G and running costs for a property of this size should be expected to be significant. Any buyer wanting redevelopment of the courtyard barns must pursue formal planning approvals.
