Gower Hall Farm is an impressive, restored Georgian farmhouse set in about 27 acres of paddocks and landscaped grounds. The main house blends original period detail with a large two-storey rear extension and high-standard refurbishment, including new wiring, insulation and a ground-source heat pump with underfloor heating — a rare combination of character and modern efficiency.
A separate two-bedroom guest/holiday cottage has also been recently refurbished to match the principal house, offering multi-generational living or income potential. Ancillary buildings include a timber-clad steel-framed barn with integral garage and workshop, a timber car port, extensive parking for large vehicles, a covered horse walker, and a newly completed ménage — well configured for equestrian use.
Practical advantages include planning permission for a three-bay standalone barn and for a swimming pool/additional living space, a large gravel courtyard, and excellent mobile signal. Notable negatives: the Energy Performance Certificate is D, broadband speeds are slow, and council tax is described as quite expensive — factors to weigh for long-term running costs and connectivity.
Located on an elevated site near the Howardian Hills AONB, the property sits in a peaceful hamlet with easy road links to the A64 and nearby schools. For buyers seeking a substantial family home with strong equestrian or smallholding potential, flexible ancillary accommodation, and significant land, Gower Hall offers a rare, ready-to-enjoy country estate with some ongoing cost considerations.
