Woodlands is a substantial detached farmhouse set in an elevated position with far-reaching, panoramic countryside views. The main house offers flexible family living across spacious reception rooms and four double bedrooms, complemented by a ground-floor bedroom and three further bathrooms. Modern upgrades include double glazing, solar panels and an air-source heat pump to reduce running costs while retaining traditional granite walls and period character.
The site extends to about 9.28 acres, combining landscaped gardens, enclosed paddock and pasture, with a sweeping driveway and extensive parking/turning space. Outbuildings total almost 7,000 sq ft and include stables, a farm office with kitchen, games room, secure agricultural workshop and covered parking — offering clear potential for equestrian use, small-scale agricultural enterprise, storage or conversion subject to planning.
A separate two-bedroom timber-clad annexe/cabin with its own parking and garden could suit relatives, holiday lets or rental income, though any change of use/conversion would require appropriate permissions. Water is supplied from a private borehole and a new private treatment plant is being installed; mains water and sewerage are not confirmed. The owners have documented a rarely used public footpath along one boundary.
Important practical points: the property’s original granite walls appear uninsulated (assumed) and main fuel currently listed as oil, despite the air-source system and solar array. Council tax is above average. Buyers should allow for maintenance of a large plot and the outbuildings and for any planning costs if converting barns or changing the annexe use.
