Nestled within the conservation area of Seaton in the picturesque Welland Valley, this Grade II listed farmhouse, West Farm, presents a unique opportunity for discerning buyers. Built in the late 18th century using durable coursed ironstone under steep slate roofs, this property exudes historical charm while offering considerable potential for modern enhancement. The home is characterized by its original architectural features, such as timber beams and shuttered windows, creating an inviting atmosphere that harmonizes heritage with everyday family living.
The spacious garden room extension showcases vaulted ceilings and expansive glazing, providing abundant natural light and seamless access to beautifully landscaped terraces that are ripe for further development or personalization. The well-designed handcrafted kitchen is equipped for both daily family needs and larger gatherings, while the dining room’s vaulted ceiling lends grandeur to any occasion.
Additionally, the versatile layout includes a secluded snug with a cozy wood-burning stove and a dual-aspect sitting room that invites tranquility. Upstairs hosts multiple bedrooms with lovely rural views and they share a well-appointed shower room. A notable feature includes a secondary wing originating from the former hayloft, which adds flexibility for guests or multi-generational living with two additional bedrooms and another shower room.
The outdoor space is thoughtfully arranged with terraced gardens, stone pathways, and seating areas. There’s also an intriguing stone outbuilding formerly used as a butchery; planning permission is already in place for its conversion into a one-bedroom cottage—perfect for guest accommodation or rental income. With ample scope for renovation throughout, this property stands as an exemplary investment opportunity within one of Rutland's most sought-after villages. The combination of period features and potential enhancements makes West Farm not just a home but also a canvas for future endeavors.
