Property Description
Sitting proudly to the front of its circa seven acres of grounds, this traditional but extended 19th century farmhouse offers a rare combination of character, scale, and opportunity. Alongside three reception rooms, an expansive open plan living kitchen, and five double bedrooms, the property also benefits from equestrian facilities and a substantial building plot with full planning permission for a spacious four bedroom detached home. Together, these features create a lifestyle residence that blends rural tranquillity with exciting potential for the future.
Step Inside
The welcoming entrance hall, with natural wood doors and staircase, sets the tone for the home’s blend of period charm and modern comfort. To either side are two reception rooms: one currently used as a home office with dual aspect windows and recessed fire, the other a formal sitting room with a timber fireplace and cast iron open fire.
A third reception room provides a relaxed family space, filled with natural light from French doors and centred around a large brick fireplace with multi fuel burner.
Beyond lies the expansive L shaped living kitchen, created from the former dairy. This impressive space combines kitchen, dining, and seating areas, with an extensive range of cabinetry, dark quartz work surfaces, range cooker, a butler sink, and a large central island with secondary sink. Velux roof lights flood the room with natural light, while a relaxing sitting area within the kitchen is anchored by a multi fuel burner — making it as welcoming for cosy evenings as it is for lively family gatherings. The dining area is generous enough for both extended family occasions and entertaining on a grand scale.
Completing the ground floor are a rear entrance lobby, a spacious boot room, a utility, a ground floor shower room, and a strategically placed WC ideal for outdoor use. Upstairs, five double bedrooms are arranged across the half landing and first floor. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room, while two retain traditional fireplaces.
Step Outside
To the rear of the farmhouse lies a private, enclosed garden with stone patio, lawn, and well stocked beds. Beyond is a large gravelled parking area with double gates, which also forms the site of the approved building plot for a spacious four bedroom detached home, with separate access from a neighbouring drive.
The equestrian facilities include a large open timber barn housing five stables, all opening into a central covered grooming area with power, light, and water. Beyond are enclosed paddocks, hardstanding’s, and an illuminated all weather ménage. Importantly, there is separate access suitable for larger vehicles such as a horsebox or agricultural machinery, ensuring practicality alongside the lifestyle appeal. Completing the grounds is a stretch of riverbank, providing additional grazing and a picturesque natural boundary.
