Bury House is a substantial Victorian farmhouse set in approximately 3.5 acres, offering classic period character with large, high‑ceilinged rooms and flexible living space across about 5,023 sq ft. The house suits families or countryside professionals who need space for home working, hobbies or small‑scale equestrian use — the paddock, outbuildings and existing pig sheds provide clear scope for stables or ancillary uses subject to planning. The property combines original features (mosaic tiles, exposed beams, fireplaces) with some modern updates such as bespoke oak cabinetry and double glazing of unknown install date.
Internally there are multiple reception rooms, a farmhouse kitchen with an oil‑fired Aga, and six bedrooms including a principal ‘room in the roof’ with panoramic views. A large cellar with three‑phase wiring offers practical potential for a gym, studio or workshop. Parking and garaging are generous, with a sweeping driveway and a double garage plus additional outbuildings for storage or conversion.
The plot is a major draw: formal gardens, mature trees and roughly two acres of paddock create privacy and opportunity for outdoor pursuits. The village setting is affluent with low crime, good mobile signal and access to commuter routes; local schools are rated Good. Practical considerations include average broadband speeds, very expensive council tax, and solid brick walls likely without insulation — further energy efficiency improvements may be desirable.
In short, this is a commanding period house that rewards sympathetic updating and offers rare land and outbuilding potential close to village amenities. Buyers should expect ongoing maintenance typical of older properties and should factor in energy‑upgrade costs and council tax when assessing overall running expenses.
