Description
Nestled in a serene rural setting, this Grade II listed detached farmhouse presents a compelling opportunity for buyers interested in historical properties.

Confidence: LOW
Hunsdon Farmhouse is a distinctive Grade II listed 16th/17th-century stone property, with granite mullion windows, a character staircase and an enclosed walled garden. The guide price is £250,000, but floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. Bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay at this level.
This is a heavy, whole-house project rather than a cosmetic refresh: several interior spaces show substantial deterioration, debris and unfinished areas, and the visible kitchen and bathroom areas need major attention. For someone prepared to take on a careful listed-building renovation, the appeal is the chance to shape the interiors around the farmhouse’s historic character and make use of its private garden.
Key opportunities
- Restore the stone farmhouse’s historic character, including its granite mullion windows and distinctive spiral staircase beneath the splayed roof.
- Rework the heavily deteriorated interior as a coherent home suited to the building’s listed character, rather than making piecemeal cosmetic changes.
- Clear and improve the enclosed walled garden to create a more usable private outdoor space.
Key risks
- Stripped and deteriorated interiors, debris and unfinished areas point to a heavy whole-house programme; plan for a substantial rebuild of internal finishes and facilities, not a cosmetic refresh.
- The slate roof looks weathered and the condition of the roof and building fabric needs specialist inspection, particularly given the property’s listed status.
