Huge country home with no near neighbours up for sale for £1.45m

The property sits in a peaceful rural location "offering the utmost privacy and seclusion", according to selling agents David Burr, and features four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a magnificent drawing room with a 22ft vaulted ceiling.

At its earliest, the property is thought to date back to the 15th century, but was subsequently altered in the 18th century before being converted into a home in 1985.

Since then it has been further extended and updated, including being re-roofed around five years ago.

The huge drawing room is a real highlight, featuring an abundance of exposed timbers and studwork and an open-plan layout which leads through to an attractive dining area with a mezzanine snug above.

The dining room has windows to three sides, which each offer lovely views over the grounds, and there is a separate breakfast area off the kitchen.

The kitchen itself is well-fitted with a matching range of base and wall units, polished granite work surfaces, breakfast bar and pantry cupboard, as well as space for a range cooker, set into a chimney breast. It also has a range of appliances already fitted, including a Smeg dishwasher and refrigerator which sits below the countertop.

A utility space, bathroom and walk-in wardrobe form the rest of the ground floor, and there are four bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs, including one en suite.

Outside there is ample off-road parking and a number of outbuildings, which include a triple cart lodge, double garage and large storage barn, which had planning permission for conversion but which has since lapsed.

The grounds contain around an acre of formal gardens and an acre fenced paddock (Image: David Burr)

The rest of the grounds are primarily arranged into two main parts and include around an acre of formal gardens, featuring a variety of mature specimen trees and established flower beds, and a stone paved terrace which provides a seating area.

Towards the top of the garden there is a mature orchard with a number of fruit trees, as well as further lawns, and there is also a further acre of fully fenced paddock, complete with a two-box stable block to the side.

There is also a greenhouse and vegetable garden.
