Set on a large gated plot on the edge of Harlaston, this Grade II listed red‑brick farmhouse offers generous family accommodation across three floors. High ceilings, sash windows, exposed beams and multiple reception rooms create an elegant, flexible layout for family life and entertaining. The principal suite, five bedrooms and separate office suit multi‑generational living or home working.
Gardens and outbuildings are standout features: mature trees, wide lawns and a rear patio overlook agricultural fields, and a double garage plus stores provide practical storage. Planning permission exists to extend the garage and convert it into an ancillary granny annexe, a useful opportunity for additional accommodation or income. The current owner has operated the house as an AirBnB, demonstrating strong lettings potential.
Buyers should note the property’s material constraints: Grade II listed status will limit structural changes and increase consent requirements. The house has solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation, an EPC rating of F and oil‑fired central heating, so upgrading thermal performance and heating will be necessary and potentially costly. Broadband is very slow for the area and council tax is high, which may affect home workers and running costs.
Overall, this is a rare, characterful country home for a buyer seeking a substantial period residence with scope to modernise responsibly. It will particularly suit families who value privacy, space and village living but are prepared for listed‑building constraints and improvement work.
