This historic stone farmhouse, dating back to the early 18th Century, presents a unique opportunity for investors and renovators. Originally composed of two separate buildings—a house and a detached kitchen—along with an adjoining stable, this property was condemned in the 1960s due to disrepair and subsequently purchased by a farmer primarily for its land. After being rediscovered in the 1980s, efforts were made to restore it due to its heritage status, leading to significant structural work that has now integrated the main house with a newly constructed garden room, enhancing its appeal while maximizing the breathtaking views of surrounding landscapes.
The ground floor features an entrance hall that transitions into a rustic kitchen adorned with wooden cabinetry, an Aga cooker, and charming period details such as exposed stone walls and flagstone flooring. The flexible layout offers multiple living areas, including a snug and an office space boasting south-facing views. However, further modernization may be required to maximize comfort and functionality throughout.
Moving upstairs via two distinct staircases, you will find three character-filled bedrooms along with a family bathroom. A fourth bedroom provides additional versatility for family or guests.
Outside, the extensive grounds span approximately 33 acres, comprising pastureland and woodland suitable for various agricultural pursuits or leisure activities, subject to necessary consents. There are also several outbuildings: a former threshing barn recently granted planning permission for ancillary accommodation and another barn that requires renovation but holds potential for conversion into useful living or storage spaces.
The location is exceptional for those who appreciate outdoor pursuits, with direct access to popular hiking trails and scenic vistas perfect for nature enthusiasts. This property not only offers restoration potential but also investment opportunities through rental possibilities for grazing land—as done by previous owners—enhancing its overall value while preserving its charm.
