Spacious Georgian stone house with outbuildings and 5.12 acres, ideal for family living or development.
Approximately 4,187 sq ft of living space across 6 bedrooms and 3 reception rooms
The Old Manse is a substantial, characterful Georgian/Victorian stone house set in about 5.12 acres of gardens, terrace, walled garden and pasture. Spread over approximately 4,187 sq ft, the house offers three reception rooms, six bedrooms (one used as a study), three bath/shower rooms including an ensuite, a kitchen with Aga and extensive utility and pantry space — a layout suited to a large family or multi-generational living.
The estate includes attractive stone outbuildings with garaging and storage, plus a modern barn and a renewable energy source. These buildings offer genuine scope for secondary accommodation or conversion (subject to consents), making the property attractive for those considering holiday-let income, home-working with separate office space, or modest development.
Practical points to note: the EPC rating is E and council tax is described as quite expensive; the house sits in a remoter agricultural community and the local area is classified as very deprived, which may affect access to some services. Positively, mobile signal is excellent and broadband speeds are fast. The grounds include trout fishing, mature trees and well-proportioned pasture that will suit equestrian, small-holding or amenity uses.
Overall, The Old Manse will appeal to buyers seeking a spacious rural family home with character, strong conversion potential and substantial land. It balances period charm and usable modern outbuildings, but requires buyers to accept its rural setting, EPC rating and associated running costs.
