An impressive period farmhouse originating in the 16th century, Lawn Farmhouse combines substantial living space with authentic character. The house offers five double bedrooms, four generous reception rooms and a large country kitchen with vaulted ceiling and exposed beams — ideal for family life and entertaining. Many original features remain, including timber framing, exposed brickwork and traditional fireplaces.
Set in about 1.5 acres of mature, well-established gardens, the plot wraps around the property with lawns, orchard, kitchen garden and specimen planting, plus a terrace for outdoor dining. Detached outbuildings, a former granary and garage/workshop provide useful storage and clear scope for conversion to home office or ancillary accommodation, subject to listed-building and planning consents.
Practical considerations are upfront: the house is listed, which will restrict alterations and require specialist consent; heating is by an oil-fired boiler; drainage is private; broadband speeds are very slow; and council tax is band G (quite expensive). These factors are important for anyone planning substantial modernisation or home-working.
Lawn Farmhouse sits in an attractive rural location on the Hampshire/Berkshire border, within easy driving distance of Basingstoke and Reading and close to local village amenities and several well-regarded schools. The combination of privacy, size and period detail will suit a family seeking a character home with scope to upgrade, or a buyer wanting a distinctive rural residence with conversion potential.
