Set within about 0.52 acres of secluded grounds, this Grade II listed 15th/16th-century farmhouse offers nearly 3,000 sq ft across three floors — a rare combination of historic character and generous family living space. Original features such as exposed timbers, oak floorboards, brick fireplaces and two bread ovens give the house strong period appeal, while a vaulted kitchen/breakfast room with a large island and inglenook wood burner provides a sociable heart for everyday life and entertaining.
The house includes three formal reception rooms, a useful study, five well-proportioned bedrooms and a top-floor principal suite with private en-suite accessed by a spiral staircase. Outside, mature trees, established hedging, a cart lodge and generous parking support family life and hobbies, and the plot provides scope for garden projects or revival of previously held annexe consent to add separate accommodation (planning currently lapsed).
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate renovations or extensions. Heating is provided by oil-fired and LPG boilers and the EPC is D; buyers should allow for ongoing fuel and maintenance costs. The former planning permission for a two-bedroom annexe has lapsed and would require fresh applications if pursued. Located in a quiet hamlet, the setting is peaceful but relatively remote, with limited local services immediately on hand.
This farmhouse will suit buyers seeking a characterful country home with space for family living, flexible accommodation and outside room to develop — prepared to accept listed-building responsibilities and rural living trade-offs.
