Large character house with separate three-bed annexe and extensive outbuildings.
Just over 10 acres of gardens, paddocks and mature orchard
A handsome late-Georgian country house set in just over 10 acres, this substantial five-bedroom home combines period character with large modern outbuildings and breathtaking rural views. The main house offers generous reception rooms, a triple-aspect farmhouse kitchen with Aga, an inglenook fireplace and a south-facing terrace that captures the skyline. Mature orchard, extensive lawns and high hedging give strong privacy and a true countryside feel.
The property includes a detached, immaculate three-bedroom annexe (built 2015) with separate access and private gardens — ideal for multi-generational living, long-term rental or short-term holiday letting. Additional practical benefits include a triple garage with gym above, two studio buildings suitable for home working, machinery and wood stores, and a sweeping gated driveway with extensive parking.
Buyers should note several important running costs and maintenance points: the EPC is band F, main heating relies on electric storage heaters and the annexe uses gas canisters; the original solid-brick walls are assumed uninsulated; drainage is to a private sewage treatment plant. Broadband speeds are slow and council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors mean energy and connectivity upgrades will be sensible early investments.
This is a rare rural opportunity for families seeking space and privacy or for buyers wanting an income-producing annexe and outbuildings. The setting, size and flexibility are the key attractions, but budget for modernisation and improved energy efficiency.
