Glebe House is a substantial, newly renovated Georgian former manse set within approximately 1.5 acres of south‑facing grounds. The house balances period character — high ceilings, large sash windows and formal reception rooms — with contemporary upgrades throughout, creating a spacious family home ready to move into.
The layout provides generous living and entertaining space: multiple reception rooms, a large open kitchen/dining/family area, four double bedrooms including an en‑suite, and two attic rooms. Large windows frame panoramic countryside views and flood rooms with natural light. Modern essentials include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and upgraded internal finishes.
The extensive garden, mature planting and private drive give a strong sense of space and seclusion. A substantial stone built garage capable of housing several vehicles presents a clear development opportunity for an annexe, studio or guest accommodation subject to planning permission. Additional useful outbuildings include a car port, greenhouse and stores.
Be realistic about the practical considerations: the house sits in a remoter agricultural community with limited local services and benefits from private drainage to a septic tank and oil central heating. Council Tax Band G is relatively expensive. Any conversion of the garage or significant changes would require necessary permissions. For families seeking space, privacy and countryside living while remaining commutable to larger centres, Glebe House is an attractive, ready‑to‑enjoy country residence.
