Dating back to the early 1700s, this distinctive detached sandstone home stands as a testament to the area's rich history and character. With a long-standing ownership of over 60 years, the property offers not only a narrative steeped in tradition but also significant potential for renovation and modernization. While already spacious and full of charm, it invites new owners to explore opportunities for enhancement and personalization.
The welcoming entrance hall features an original stone staircase and leads into generously sized reception areas. The living and dining room is notable for its dual-aspect windows, window seat, serving hatch, and wood-burning stove—the ideal setting for family gatherings or entertaining. A separate sitting room provides a cozy retreat with fitted cupboards and an open fire.
The kitchen includes solid oak cabinetry alongside sufficient space for essential appliances. Connected to the kitchen is a garden room that provides delightful views of the surrounding gardens. A handy utility/larder supports storage needs and houses central heating controls while adding functionality.
Upstairs, the unique layout unfolds across two landings, with multiple bedrooms benefiting from picturesque views. The loft area has been insulated and boarded, making it ripe for conversion into additional living space (subject to planning permissions). Outside, the single garage has served various purposes over time and complements several outbuildings that provide ample storage.
The meticulously designed gardens are truly captivating, showcasing divided themes such as an Orchard and Rose Garden—each corner offering its own charm. Additionally, there’s potential for further development with previously granted planning permission for a residential dwelling on part of the grounds (planning reference 17/1100).
This property holds immense potential to become a remarkable family home or investment opportunity amidst stunning natural surroundings.
