It is becoming increasingly rare to find many Local Market homes that nestle in their own land and enjoy unspoilt views across open countryside. Not only does this beautiful listed farmhouse provide this and more, it does so within an estate of approximately 46 vergees (just over 19 acres) and enjoys a unique degree of privacy as a result. Modernised and extended over time, it offers flexible accommodation either as one large house or a property with a wing, whilst there is undoubted scope to develop the property further, subject to the necessary permissions. It also offers a heated swimming pool, triple garage and a number of outbuildings around its central courtyard. A once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire and develop a substantial and unrivalled country estate.
PRECIS OF ACCOMMODATION
During the renovation process, much care was taken to ensure the heart, soul and character of the property was retained throughout. The outcome is a beautiful historical home that offers a mix of period style reception rooms with stunning inglenook fireplaces, along with well-proportioned rooms resplendent with beamed ceilings, and a superb tourelle staircase.
The old house to one side provides further superb accommodation, again with a substantial rebuilt granite fireplace, minstrel’s gallery, cobbled floor and a games room with vaulted ceiling.
Finally, the outbuildings include a triple garage, a detached two storey granite barn together with a further large agricultural barn, a heated pool and large wildlife pond.

The vine house is currently in the process of being removed.
Beyond the vine house are enclosed soft fruit cages with vegetable garden beyond and further lawned gardens stretching down either side. Also alongside of the vine house and screened behind a high granite wall is a heated swimming pool, measuring approximately 30’ x 15’, and complete with electrically operated cover. This particular area enjoys complete privacy whilst also being placed to enjoy sun for a large proportion of the day.
The property owns a large number of fields in the surrounding area including those on all sides of the main house. The majority of the land is given over to agricultural usage although it is envisaged that there may be potential for the provision of a lawned tennis court or croquet lawn to one side of the house, subject to the necessary approvals being sought. The overall site encompasses approximately 46 vergees (just over 19 acres) and enjoys total seclusion with no other properties visible from any of the areas surrounding the main house.
