Description

Dating from 1753, this Grade II listed farmhouse sits on a 0.38-acre plot in a rural setting. The property extends to approximately 2,400 sq ft and is currently arranged as two separate dwellings, both occupied until recently, but is being sold under one freehold title. The floor plan presents the accommodation as a single residence and indicates scope to reconsider the layout, subject to any required consents. The existing arrangement may suit buyers seeking separate living areas or a multi-generational setup, while combining the accommodation could create a larger home. The gardens and surrounding countryside form a substantial part of the setting. The house is offered with no onward chain, and its listed status and existing configuration should be considered when assessing refurbishment and reconfiguration options.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Meadow View Farm House is a distinctive Grade II listed farmhouse dating to 1753, with around 2,440 sq ft, a 0.38-acre garden and an open countryside setting. Its two-dwelling arrangement offers scope to shape the accommodation for a country home or multi-generational living, subject to any necessary consents.

At £500,000, the asking price is about £205 per sq ft, around 20% below the local average of £257 per sq ft—an attractive entry point for a property with this much space and character. The interiors are liveable but dated, making this a light, largely cosmetic project: refresh finishes and flooring, and tidy the garden while preserving features such as the fireplaces and exposed beams.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh dated finishes and older flooring across the liveable interiors while retaining the fireplaces, exposed beams and period character.
  • Explore how the two-dwelling arrangement could work as one country home or support multi-generational living, subject to necessary consents.
  • Make the most of the 0.38-acre garden and rural outlook with modest garden and paving improvements.
