This Grade II listed 18th-century farmhouse offers an impressive canvas for renovation and investment on the outskirts of a charming village, surrounded by scenic countryside views. Spanning over 3,160 square feet across three levels, including a cellar, the property provides substantial living space with five bedrooms—four of which are generously sized doubles—and a variety of versatile reception areas.
The ground floor features a welcoming dining hall with French doors that open to the garden, alongside separate sitting and drawing rooms that boast dual-aspect windows equipped with window seats. Each of these formal reception rooms contains fireplaces—one includes a built-in wood-burning stove, presenting opportunities for enhancement while maintaining period charm. A study is conveniently located off the side lobby, and a utility room connects to the kitchen/breakfast room, which is complemented by an oil-fired Aga.
The upper floors benefit from high ceilings reaching 10 feet and ample natural light filtering through several sash windows. Additionally, there is existing bathroom infrastructure that can be reimagined during renovations.
Outside, the property showcases a south-facing garden adorned with pear and apple trees trained along a central arch. Formal lawns bordered by mature landscaping provide space for outdoor activities or potential landscaping projects. Notably, there's also an ornamental pond and a stone outbuilding with a clay pantile roof and timber-framed greenhouse, expanding possibilities for creative use. Gated access on either side facilitates parking and entry to the rear of the property.
Situated in Yardley Gobion, this location features community amenities such as a village shop with post office services, public house, and social club. Local schooling options include Yardley Gobion C of E Primary School for younger students and access to respected secondary institutions nearby.
With its historical significance and ample potential for modernization both inside and out, this farmhouse represents an exciting opportunity for those looking to invest in property that combines character with possibilities for enhancement in a serene rural setting.
