Set at the head of a valley with sweeping mountain views, this substantial five-bedroom semi-detached house sits within an equestrian smallholding of almost 14 acres. The principal home retains strong period character — high ceilings, ornate fireplaces and flagstone/wood floors — while a self-contained one-bedroom cottage offers independent accommodation or holiday-let potential. Eleven stables, a tack room, WC and a large portal barn (former indoor arena) provide a genuine rural lifestyle and excellent riding-out options into neighbouring forestry.
The principal house is arranged over generous rooms including three reception rooms, a dual-aspect home office and a kitchen with an oil-fired range that also houses the central heating boiler. Four double bedrooms plus a fifth dressing/bedroom and three ensuite rooms give flexibility for multi-generational living. The cottage is open-plan with vaulted ceilings and its own utility and heating, previously used as an income-producing holiday let.
Practical points for buyers: the portal barn/arena (approximately 134' x 66'10") requires resurfacing and the stables are breeze-block construction; these spaces have power, lighting and water but will need ongoing maintenance. Broadband speeds are average, mobile signal is excellent and the area sits in a very deprived wider ward — buyers should note local services and amenities are limited and council tax is above average.
This is a lifestyle purchase for buyers prioritising space, equestrian facilities and countryside privacy rather than turnkey modernisation. The site’s mix of mature woodland, divided paddocks and a brook provides scope for grazing, smallholding activity or conversion of outbuildings subject to consents. Internal viewing is recommended to fully appreciate the scale, character and potential.
