Summary - PARKS FARM, UNDERBARROW LA8 8AZ
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Characterful country home with c.11 acres and flexible outbuildings for rural living.
Completely private, secluded setting set back from the lane
Parks Farm is a highly charismatic Grade II listed former laithe, sensitively extended into adjoining barns to create an individual country home. Set within about 11 acres of informal gardens and surrounding fields, the property offers exceptional amenity value for equestrian use, smallholding or a lifestyle focused on outdoor pursuits. Interiors combine original oak beams, mullioned windows and stone fireplaces with high-quality fittings and a generous open-plan living kitchen.
The ground floor layout suits family life and home working: a large sitting room with wood-burning stove, atmospheric dining room, snug, spacious living kitchen, office, utility and cloakroom. Upstairs are four double bedrooms (two ensuite), a single fifth bedroom and a house bathroom. A detached garage/store with two rooms above adds flexible space but any change of use may need consent.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status, which will restrict alterations and may make some works more complex or costly. Services include oil boiler heating, underfloor heating to parts of the ground floor, a security alarm and private drainage (tank installed 2024) rather than mains sewer connection. The land is grazed by a local farmer on an informal arrangement; there are no third-party rights across the land.
Overall Parks Farm will appeal to buyers seeking privacy, character and wide-ranging country amenities rather than move-in simplicity. The combination of historic features, substantial acreage and flexible outbuilding spaces creates clear potential for a long-term family home or hobby farm, provided buyers accept listed constraints and rural service provisions.
