Set in just under 3 acres, Bleak House is a substantial four-double-bedroom stone farmhouse with genuine equestrian potential. Over 2,143 sq ft of living space includes a conservatory, large farmhouse kitchen, separate reception rooms and a principal bedroom with far-reaching countryside views. The site includes a main barn with three stables, concrete foundations with full planning for an agricultural barn and paddocks ideal for grazing.
Practical features include LPG central heating, a borehole installed 2021/22 with new filtration, mains drains feeding a septic tank, and a detached double stone garage already converted into ancillary accommodation. The main barn had a new roof in 2018 and the external stone outbuilding offers scope for conversion subject to consents — potential for a holiday let or home office.
Buyers should note material points: broadband speeds are very slow, the property likely lacks modern wall insulation (stone walls assumed uninsulated), glazing installation dates are unknown, and council tax is high (Band F). There is a single family bathroom on the first floor and some rooms will benefit from updating to meet modern standards.
This home will suit a family seeking rural lifestyle space or an equestrian buyer wanting immediate stabling and paddocks. It also appeals to those wanting conversion and income potential from outbuildings, provided planning and upgrades are factored into budgets.
