Parley Beams Farm is a rare Grade II Listed country estate dating from circa 1351, set in approximately 15 acres with a private lake, woodland, orchard and extensive lawns. The main farmhouse offers grand, high‑ceilinged reception rooms, seven bedrooms and four bathrooms across about 4,390 sq ft — a dramatic canvas for a sympathetic restoration. Several substantial barns and outbuildings present clear development potential (STPP / possible Class Q).
This property is best suited to a buyer seeking a long-term restoration or development project: an experienced private owner, developer or investor who can manage listed‑building constraints and refurbishment costs. The size of the plot and multiple access points mean the estate can be taken as a whole or sold in three separate lots, offering flexibility in acquisition and monetisation strategies.
Buyers should note material constraints plainly: the Grade II listing will complicate alterations and approvals and the farmhouse requires substantial renovation throughout. Any conversion of barns or change of use is subject to planning (STPP) and potential Class Q limits. Practical details such as council tax banding are unknown and typical listed‑building repair costs should be factored into budgets.
For the right purchaser this is a generational opportunity — a historically significant home with character features, significant land, and clear scope to restore, repurpose or develop, subject to the permissions required for listed buildings and agricultural conversions.
