Set within about 1.3 acres and elevated for wide uninterrupted sea views, this detached 1700s farmhouse combines period character with practical smallholding potential. The house offers generous living space including an open-plan kitchen/dining with a Rayburn, a conservatory capturing the coastal outlook, and several reception rooms that could serve as a ground-floor bedroom or home office. Substantial stone outbuildings plus two modern steel stores provide workshop, storage or conversion opportunities (subject to planning).
The property is arranged for rural living: oil-fired central heating fed by the Rayburn, a private spring water supply and a septic tank (all title rights exist). Grounds include formal lawns, mature trees and a paddock suitable for grazing, with dry stone dyke boundaries and gated vehicular access. Ample parking and a carport-style steel building add convenience for multiple vehicles and trailers.
Material considerations are plain: the house will benefit from modernisation to improve energy efficiency and internal finishes; the EPC is F. Rural services mean private water and drainage require ongoing maintenance, and access is via country roads. For buyers seeking a spacious, private coastal setting with outbuilding scope—whether a family wanting space and views or someone pursuing smallholding, equestrian or diversification projects—this property offers a rare canvas.
