The property

Established Rural Smallholding


A rare opportunity to acquire an attractive rural smallholding extending to approximately 22 acres, comprising a substantial five-bedroom residence, extensive outbuildings, productive land and a traditional barn with planning permission for conversion to a single-storey three-bedroom dwelling.

The house itself sits within approximately 1.65 acres of gardens and grounds while the surrounding land extends to approximately 20.33 acres.

The principal residence is presented in good order throughout and offers spacious, versatile accommodation ideally suited to modern family living. The ground floor features a generous kitchen/dining room, perfect for entertaining and everyday family life, together with a comfortable lounge, garden room, currently used as a dining room and practical utility room.

To the first floor are five well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, complemented by a modern family bathroom serving the remaining accommodation.

Externally, the garden wraps around the property, offering lovely suntrap seating areas.

A substantial agricultural building currently provides excellent garage, workshop, storage facilities and the solar panel controls, offering flexibility for a range of agricultural, equestrian or business uses. Further complemented by four outbuildings of various construction materials: the first, which is adjoining the house, contains the biomass central heating boiler and backup generator; the second, houses the private water supply pump and filtration system marked as Workshop/Store on the floor plan; the third is currently used as a Wood-Store; the fourth is currently used as a Bike Shed.

A particularly attractive feature of the property is the separate traditional barn, which benefits from planning consent for conversion into a spacious three-bedroom bungalow-style dwelling. This presents an excellent opportunity for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, holiday letting potential or the creation of an additional residence, subject to the terms of the existing planning permission.

The surrounding land extends to approximately 20.33 acres and comprises a mixture of grazing land, established woodland, areas of scrub habitat and land planted under a Woodland Trust scheme. The acreage offers significant appeal for those seeking an equestrian property, lifestyle smallholding, conservation project or rural business venture.

The land is currently registered within the Government's Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) scheme, providing an attractive environmental stewardship opportunity and potential income stream. A Woodland Trust planting scheme remains in place until September 2026, with the current SFI agreements running through until 2028.

Combining a spacious family home, extensive outbuildings, environmental stewardship opportunities, substantial acreage and valuable development potential, this unique property offers an increasingly rare opportunity to enjoy a versatile rural lifestyle in an attractive countryside setting.
