Wayside Farmhouse is a substantial four-bedroom sandstone farmhouse dating from the 1800s, set in about 0.75 acre of gardens, orchard and a small paddock. The house keeps strong period character — exposed timbers, a sandstone inglenook fireplace and a welcoming conservatory — and offers comfortable family living across well-proportioned rooms totalling about 2,358 sq ft including outbuildings.
The plot includes a large detached barn (former dairy and stable), separate garage and additional stores, providing flexible space for hobbies, storage or potential conversion (subject to consent). The village setting in Churton delivers a quiet, rural lifestyle with very low crime, nearby good and independent schools, a village pub and local amenities close by.
Buyers should note the property requires updating and energy improvements: the EPC rating is F, heating is oil-fired to radiators, and the original sandstone walls likely lack modern insulation. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors mean running and refurbishment costs will be higher than modern homes, but they also present clear scope for targeted investment to improve efficiency and value.
Offered freehold and chain-free, this farmhouse will suit a family seeking countryside character with substantial outdoor space, or a purchaser prepared to refurbish and modernise the services to unlock longer-term energy and comfort gains.
