This expansive country home features five bedrooms and spans three levels, offering a wealth of potential for renovation and investment. The ground floor hosts generous living spaces, including a dining room and a drawing room, both equipped with working fireplaces—one featuring a Clearview stove—each providing pleasant views of the surroundings. At the rear, the kitchen breakfast room connects seamlessly to an adjacent sitting room that overlooks a quaint courtyard with barns, creating a cozy atmosphere. Additional practical spaces on this level include a utility/boot room and a convenient w/c.
Ascending to the first floor reveals two spacious primary bedrooms located at the front of the house, boasting open countryside views. Three additional bedrooms are positioned on this level, complemented by a sizable family bathroom. A second flight of stairs leads to two vaulted loft rooms on the top floor, which offer the flexibility to serve as extra bedroom space or be transformed into various functional areas according to personal needs.
The property is set within substantial grounds, bordered by paddocks that ensure privacy and tranquility. The land includes two sizeable pools surrounded by wooded areas, adding appeal for those seeking outdoor enjoyment or further development opportunities. A collection of traditional outbuildings sits nearby, including brick barns (notably The Old Dairy), Dutch barns, and portal frame buildings. These structures hold significant promise for alternative uses such as equestrian facilities or even residential conversion—subject to obtaining necessary consents—as past proposals have highlighted their potential viability despite recent refusals due to drainage concerns.
A garage building capable of accommodating three vehicles enhances practicality while a cobbled courtyard provides additional charm.
