A rare circa 1721 Georgian farmhouse set on about half an acre, Wheelton Lodge Farm combines strong period character with sweeping panoramic countryside views. The main house offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, traditional exposed beams, stone mullion windows and two wood-burning stoves; original features create immediate charm and comfortable living while allowing scope for modernisation.
Adjoining a substantial barn, hayloft and former milking parlour, the property presents significant conversion potential (subject to planning) for extra living space or a self-contained annexe. The site includes a large private driveway, orchard, mature planting and extensive rear garden — excellent for outdoor living and entertaining.
Practical considerations: the property is heated by an oil-fired boiler and has double glazing installed post-2002, but the original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed uninsulated and will require upgrading for modern energy efficiency. The barn and outbuildings will need investment and statutory permissions to convert. Council tax is above average.
This home is well suited to family buyers seeking character in a semi-rural location, or buyers with renovation experience who value land, views and conversion upside. Chain-free sale and a fast broadband/mobile signal add practical convenience to the lifestyle on offer.
