Steppes Farm is a substantial period farmhouse set in an outstanding parkland of about 62.88 acres, arranged as a principal 7-bedroom house with an adjoining independently accessed 2-bedroom cottage. The main house combines 18th‑century stone character with later upgrades: air‑source heating, a solar array and an EV charging point reduce running costs and support multigenerational living or owner-occupied plus ancillary-let use. Mature formal gardens, terraces and extensive pasture create privacy and long country views.
The holding is offered freehold with Lot 1 (house, cottage and garden) available with vacant possession; the majority of pasture is let on a Farm Business Tenancy with vacant possession available from 1 November 2025. There are separate lots of pasture and woodland, a steel portal-framed agricultural building (c.131.82 sq m) and clear potential for equestrian or other countryside uses (subject to planning). Access arrangements involve routes over third‑party land and statutory rights will transfer with the sale—buyers should note the defined rights of way and access provisions detailed in the sale particulars.
Practical considerations: broadband speeds are described as very slow despite excellent mobile signal, and council tax sits in Band G, making running costs comparatively high. The farmhouse was converted in the 1990s and, while upgraded in recent years, the size and age (originally built c.1777) mean periodic maintenance and potential refurbishment will be required in places. The landscape and multiple paddocks provide strong rural amenity for family recreation, hobby farming or rental income from grazing.
