Substantial village property with large garden and barn in peaceful countryside.
Grade II listed 17th-century detached house retaining period features
Stanley House is a Grade II listed 17th-century detached cottage recently modernised to retain historic character while adding contemporary convenience. Exposed beams, brickwork and a grand inglenook fireplace create authentic period charm, balanced by a bespoke sociable kitchen/dining room and two modern bathrooms. The property sits on a very large mature plot with restful countryside views, a pond and a hot tub for outdoor relaxation.
The layout suits family life: four bedrooms across comfortable room sizes, an ensuite to the principal bedroom and generous reception rooms including a 23ft lounge. Practical features include double glazing, a utility room, cloakroom, and a double car barn plus driveway for multiple vehicles. There is no flooding risk and mobile signal is excellent in this village location.
Buyers should note the house’s listed status will restrict alterations and can complicate permissions and maintenance. The building’s timber-frame construction with partial insulation and oil-fired boiler means running costs and insulation upgrades should be considered. Broadband speeds are reported as slow, which may affect home working without a fixed upgrade.
For families seeking village life with good local schools and countryside tranquillity, this home offers a rare mix of history, outdoor space and ready-to-enjoy modernised interiors. Interested buyers should verify council tax banding, listed-consent implications and any specialist maintenance requirements before proceeding.
