An exceptional stone farmhouse set against rolling countryside, this substantial freehold home offers space and flexibility for large or multi-generational families. Seven bedrooms and six bathrooms are arranged across generous reception rooms and a farmhouse kitchen that frame far-reaching views. The property includes stables, a large yard, double garage and sizeable outbuildings suitable for storage, workshops or small-scale business use.
Practical strengths include double glazing installed post-2002, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, no flood risk and very low local crime. Good road links put nearby towns and services within easy reach, while local primary and secondary schools—several rated Good or Outstanding—support family living. The site’s mature hedgerows and trees provide privacy without interrupting the panoramic rural outlook.
Notable constraints are slow broadband speeds and an expensive council tax band, which are important for anyone working from home or budgeting running costs. The farmhouse dates from the early 20th century (1900–1929) and uses sandstone/limestone walls with internal insulation; that character brings solidity but also an expectation of ongoing upkeep typical of older masonry buildings. Buyers seeking rental income, equestrian use, or flexible family layouts will find clear potential here, but should account for connectivity and maintenance considerations.
