Description

This Grade II Listed farmhouse, dating back to the early 19th century, presents a unique opportunity for both renovation and investment. Located on a generous plot of 2.41 acres, Gowers Farmhouse combines historic charm with significant potential for modernisation. The house features classic period elements such as exposed timbers and open fireplaces, adding character that can be enhanced with thoughtful updates. With the majority of internal space complementing family living, including multiple reception areas and five bedrooms on the upper floor, there is ample scope for creating bespoke living arrangements or even a ground-floor annexe suitable for guests or extended family. The extensive outbuildings—including a traditional barn—further amplify the property's investment potential. These structures may offer opportunities for conversion into additional living spaces or rental units (subject to planning approval), especially as a pre-application has already been submitted concerning their residential conversion. Situated just outside the village of High Roding, this property allows easy access to local amenities while providing an appealing rural setting. With considerable surrounding grounds featuring an orchard and swimming pool, Gowers Farmhouse is perfect for those looking to create a vibrant family home or capitalize on its rental potential in a desirable commuter location.
