A substantial detached former farmhouse set in about 2.1 acres, offering generous living space and clear potential for multi‑generational use. The main house features three reception rooms, a large dual‑aspect dining kitchen with Aga and island, utility/laundry room and a well‑appointed master suite with dressing room and en suite. An attached, self‑contained one‑bedroom annex provides independent accommodation ideal for guests, older relatives or rental income.
The grounds are a major asset: lengthy cobbled driveway, extensive parking, formal lawns, enclosed west‑facing rear garden with deck, summerhouse and mature specimen trees. Outbuildings include a timber stable block with four stables, tack room, sand paddock and approximately 1.5 acres of grazing, suiting equestrian or small‑holding use. Vendor notes indicate potential development of the stable block/yard subject to planning permission.
Practical points to note: the property uses a septic tank, council tax is in a high band and broadband speeds are very slow — important for those needing reliable high‑speed internet. Crime levels are reported as high in the area. The house is attractively presented but, given age (circa 1890) and scale, ongoing maintenance and periodic updating should be expected. Buyers should verify services, appliance condition and any planning intentions for outbuildings.
This home will suit families seeking space, privacy and equestrian facilities, or buyers looking for a character property with ancillary income potential. It offers immediate comfortable living alongside opportunities for adaptation or enhancement, subject to the usual consents.
