Applegarth is a substantial, characterful detached home set in the sought-after rural hamlet of Far Forest. The house has been extended over time to provide flexible accommodation across multiple reception rooms and four bedrooms, including a large principal suite formed in a later extension. A modern fitted kitchen, ground-floor bathroom, utility/laundry room and a bright garden room with log burner are practical highlights for family life.
The landscaped, well-stocked garden is a major asset — Indian sandstone patio, productive fruit trees, greenhouse with power, shed and vegetable plot — and the secure gated driveway with integral garage provides ample parking. The property backs onto grazing land, reinforcing the peaceful countryside setting and excellent mobile signal.
There are important practical considerations: the home is an older build (pre‑1900) with granite/whinstone walls assumed without insulation, heated by electric storage heaters and reliant on LPG for some services. Broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal, and council tax is noted as expensive. These factors may mean immediate or medium-term investment for insulation, heating upgrades or faster internet.
For buyers seeking rural character with scope to personalise, Applegarth offers clear upside — convert flexible spaces, add an en suite to the principal bedroom, or create a self-contained annexe from the utility/laundry area. The house suits families wanting space and garden amenity, or buyers looking for a renovation project with considerable charm and outdoor potential.
