Tucked down a quiet country lane, this generous five-bedroom detached home sits within very large, landscaped grounds centred on a private courtyard and heated outdoor pool. The main house combines period character — flagstone entrance, inglenook fireplace and exposed oak — with a recently refitted farmhouse-style kitchen and a comfortable principal suite with vaulted ceilings and dressing room.
The estate includes a high-quality, three-bedroom barn conversion ideal for multigenerational living or long-stay guests, plus a stable annexe, workshops and extensive storage buildings. Outdoor space is a major asset: terraces, mature trees, a gravel driveway, garage/workshop and parking for multiple vehicles provide flexibility for vehicles, hobbies and entertaining.
Buyers should note important legal and maintenance matters. The property is Grade II listed, which restricts alterations and will require enquiries and specialist consents. The rear section of the main house roof contains asbestos tiles and an accredited asbestos survey is recommended. The location is in a higher flood-risk area and the grounds experienced flooding in 2016; front-of-property flood defences have since been installed.
Practical features include oil-fired heating (AGA also provides hot water on a separate circuit), FTTP broadband and mains services. Council tax is described as quite expensive and the main house EPC is exempt. This home will suit families or buyers seeking a character-filled country estate with separate guest accommodation, provided they accept the listed status and undertake recommended surveys and flood enquiries.
