- Electric gated sweeping driveway, ample parking and private mature grounds

Set in a commanding rural position with long views to surrounding hills, this substantial Georgian-style estate combines generous family accommodation with an established two‑bed holiday cottage. The main house offers six double bedrooms (four en‑suite), two further large bedrooms on the top floor, multiple reception rooms including a games room and gym, and a sizeable modern kitchen/dining space — all finished to a good standard and presented in attractive condition.
Externally the property sits behind electric gates on a sweeping gravel drive with ample parking and a mix of manicured lawns, planted beds and wild garden areas. The attached Briar Barn is a fully licensed, successful two‑bed holiday let with original stone features and a log burner, providing immediate lettings income or B&B potential.
Practical points: the house is freehold with no flood risk and a total area of about 3,765 sq ft. Broadband in the area is very slow and the wider area is classified as very deprived, which may affect connectivity and resale dynamics. Council tax is relatively high (Band G) and the Energy Performance is currently low (E 42) with potential to improve to D 65.
This property suits a family seeking a spacious rural home that can generate income, or purchasers wanting an operational holiday let alongside principal accommodation. Buyers should be comfortable with rural living (limited internet), managing mature grounds, and meeting higher council tax and ongoing energy upgrade costs where desired.
