This substantial seven-bedroom Grade II farmhouse combines restored period character with extensive modernisation across approximately 4,127 sq ft. The main house offers high ceilings, parquet and chequered floors, multiple reception rooms and an open-plan kitchen/breakfast living area that opens onto a large southeast-facing terrace — an excellent layout for multigenerational family life and entertaining.
The plot extends to just over a third of an acre with a detached annexe (the converted barn) offering independent accommodation, private garden and mezzanine sleeping area. Ample off-street parking is provided behind electric gates and the gardens include a lawn, seating terrace and a wood-fired hot tub with open countryside views.
Practical considerations: the property is freehold but Grade II listed, which may restrict alterations and complicate works. Heating is oil-fired, drainage is via septic tank and broadband speeds are very slow. Planning permission has been applied for an additional single dwelling on the existing garages (decision expected winter 2025) — buyers should verify boundaries and planned approvals with their legal advisors.
Presented following extensive renovation, the house is ready to occupy but retains responsibilities typical of large period homes: higher-than-average council tax (Band G), listed-building constraints and ongoing maintenance for historic fabric. Its size, separate annexe and barn conversion make it well suited to multigenerational families or buyers seeking flexible rural accommodation.
